| Directions |
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and gelatin; cream together until light and fluffy. This may take two or three minutes of mixing time.
- Add the eggs to the creamed mixture and blend well.
- Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Combine the milk and whipping cream together, separate from the flour mixture.
- Alternately, add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the creamed mixture and stir in by hand.
- Puree fresh strawberries in a blender; add sugar to taste.
- Add the vanilla and strawberry puree; beat with the mixer just until blended in.
- Pour into the prepared cake pans, dividing evenly between the two.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool on a rack for 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove them and allow them to cool completely.
- Frost with your favorite white frosting recipe.
- Note: If you do not have cake flour you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Add 2 tbsp. of cornstarch to a 1 cup measuring cup and the fill with all-purpose flour to make 1 cup of cake flour. Add 1 tbsp. of cornstarch to a 1/2 cup measuring cup and fill with all-purpose flour to make 1/2 cake flour. For 1/4 cup add 1/2 tbsp. of cornstarch and fill with flour.
