Ingredients (cake)

  • 4 teaspoons butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup & 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup & 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 & 1/12 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ingredients (frosting)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 2 tablespoons milk
  • cut strawberries

 Instructions
  1. First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9" spring foam pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl melt butter, then add milk and let it sit.
  3. In another bowl mix eggs and sugar together.
  4. Add the butter milk mixture to the egg sugar mixture, and then the vanilla.
  5. Lastly add the flour and baking powder and mix before pouring the batter into the pan. 
  6. If desired, repeat steps 1-5 in a separate pan to create a second layer.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  8. In medium bowl, prepare the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar and butter with spoon or electric mixer on low speed.
  9. Stir in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the milk. (If frosting is too thick, beat in more milk. If it is too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar.)
  10. If the cake recipe was not doubled to maker two cake layers, you can also allow for two layers by cutting single baked cake in half.
  11. Cover the cake with frosting, ensuring that the middle layer of frosting between the two cake halves has a layer of cut strawberries.
  12. Decorate the top of the cake with additional strawberries as needed.
