One of my favorite cakes is fresh strawberry cake. The Konditerei in Salem makes a fabulous cake - but they are on the pricey side. I wanted to come up with a recipe of my own. Surprisingly, it's fairly easy. It's "strawberry season" right now. This is the PERFECT time to make this cake!! Enjoy!!
Ingredients:
1 prepared White Cake mix, in 2 8" or 9" round cake pans, according to package instructions
1 quart of heavy whipping cream
Vanilla
Sugar
Fresh Strawberries
Directions:
Bake the cake according to package instructions, cool.
Whip the whipping cream, add some vanilla and sugar (2 or 3 tsp vanilla; 2 or 3 Tbls sugar - to your liking)
Wash and trim the strawberries; cut some in quarters for in between the cake layers, some in half to go around and on top of the cake.
Place one of the cake rounds on a serving plate; cover with prepared whipped cream.
Layer quartered strawberries on top.
Spread some more whipped cream on top of strawberries.
Place other cake round on top.
Cover top and sides with whipped cream.
Decorate with strawberries halves.
