Strawberry Brunch Cake

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 2 cups pancake mix
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9" cake pan.

3. 3

   Either brush or use a paper towel to make sure the butter coats the sides and bottom of the pan.

4. 4

   Before putting in the pan, taste the strawberries. If they are not sweet enough, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the bottom of the pan.

5. 5

   Line the bottom of the pan with the strawberries, covering all of the surface. If necessary, scatter any remaining strawberry slices over top of the first layer.

6. 6

   Set aside.

7. 7

   In a large bowl, using a fork or whisk, stir the pancake mix with the eggs and milk. Beat well to remove all lumps.

8. 8

   Pour over the berries and immediately bake in the centre of the oven until the sides begin to pull away from the pan and the cake is a deep golden brown, from 30 to 35 minutes.

9. 9

   Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert the cake onto a flat plate.
