Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or ramekin.

Gently fold in chopped strawberries, letting them sink slightly into the batter.

If you want that creamy center, mix cream cheese with honey and swirl it into the batter.

Bake for 20โ€“25 minutes until set and lightly golden.

Let it cool slightlyโ€ฆ then dig in. Soft, warm, creamy, and bursting with strawberry goodness
