| Happy Mother's Day! |
A great cake....My mom's recipe that I have used for years. Enjoy and a blessed and happy day to all. I'm planning on relaxing and enjoying some time playing with my flowers. I love this day...especially since we seldom go out to eat and I get to play in the garden.
I hope you can enjoy your day the way it pleases you.
Love, M.j.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup softened butter
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups unsifted cake flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups milk
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla on high speed until fluffy. Add dry ingredients slowly alternating with milk. Start and end with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed.
Grease well and flour a bundt pan or a 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake 350 degrees approximately 40 to 45 minutes in 13 x9 in pan or approximately 50 minutes in a Bundt pan. Test with toothpick in center for doneness. Depending on your oven it can take a little more or less. Do not overbake.
Icing:
1 box confectionery sugar (10 x)

In a large bowl place softened butter and vanilla, add sifted sugar and slowly add milk. If using bundt pan slowly cut in half horizontally. Spread on half of cooled cake. Place sliced strawberries pushing slightly into icing. Top with other half of cake and top with fresh whipped cream or Cool Whip. Enjoy!
