Creating the Strawberry Spoon Cake is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. Alternate Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).
5. Prepare Strawberries: Fold in the sliced strawberries gently, being careful not to break them apart too much.
6. Pour Batter: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes.
9. Serving: Serve warm or chilled. Consider dusting with powdered sugar and adding a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

By following these simple and clear-cut steps, you’ll be well on your way to crafting this incredible Strawberry Spoon Cake that will make everyone want more.
