Hello, TidyMom fans! I’m Liz, the Hoosier Momma from Hoosier Homemade. I’m a SAHM of 3 teenage boys, that keep me running with their sports and school activities. I’ve been blogging a little over a year, I share lots of baked goods, Budget Friendly Meals, and decorating tips and tricks, all to help you “Make Your House a Home.” This recipe comes from Susan Branch and her Summer Book, it’s a wonderful white layer cake that can be used with many different toppings, frostings or even made into cupcakes. Topped with whipped cream and strawberries makes it the perfect summer dessert!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 1-pound boxes ripe strawberries, sliced
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar, until fluffy and well combined. Add the three egg yolks and beat until thick and lemon-colored.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt and mix slightly with a fork or whisk. Add to the creamed mixture, alternately with milk. Stir in vanilla.
- Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into cake batter.
- Divide cake batter among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely on racks.
- For the topping: Using an electric mixer, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form, add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until combined well.
- To Assemble: Place one cake layer on serving platter, top with whipped cream and strawberries, repeat for all layers.
- Best if assembled within an hour of serving.
