I saved this recipe when I was trying to get better organized one day. That happens when I know what I’m looking for but can’t find it. Or maybe it’s just I mood, either way, I’m glad I saw this and had it on my mind to make as soon as I could. I knew it would be super good and it was! Here is a peak at it, just out of the oven.
Give it a sprinkle of confectioners sugar and you could serve it right away but I chose to wait and add fresh strawberries just before serving.
This cake like cobbler is full of strawberries and much easier than cheesecake.

I know local strawberries are in season for just a short time but I will make this even in the winter since I am lucky and shop at a store that carries fresh strawberries all year.
