Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
Strawberries, cake, spices, brown sugar. You don't need anything else in life.

I picked up these smaller Albion strawberries at the farmers market. They are small, but they were sooooo delicious. Firm and sweet. Sliced strawberries are placed on top of a brown sugar butter mixture. I used a 9-inch x 2-inch round pan, or you can use an 8-inch x 3-inch round.

Strawberry Upside-Down Cake
I made a bunch of upside-down cakes (again, no frosting = awesomeness) and I like the cake of this one because it has a hint of spice.

    That really looks gorgeous. I'd never have thought of pairing strawberries with cardamom but I love the idea. We have in-laws visiting on Sunday and I think this might be on the menu for lunch :)
