Ingredients
DESCRIPTION
You won't find this anywhere else this is my own recipe that I developed, the delicious yellow sponge-like cake that is just dense enough to hold the strawberries and whipped cream after making this you won't go back to any other recipe! -- plan ahead the strawberries must sit in the sugar for minimum of 6 hours to release their juices, the more sugar the better! really you can use as much whipped cream and strawberries as desired, the amounts listed are only a guideline! If desired you can make two separate cakes topped with berries and whipped cream in place of the layered. Due to the small amount of liquid in the cake it is important to have the eggs and butter at room temperature and the milk lukewarm or all the ingredients will not incorporate together while mixing.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pints fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced, or use as much as desired)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- sweetened whipped cream (use any amount desired for middle and top of the cake)
- 1 cup butter, room temperature (no substitutions)
- 1 cup sugar (for a sweeter cake use more sugar)
- 4 large eggs (MUST be room temperature)
- 1/4 cup luke-warm milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (or use strawberry extract)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
