Fresh Strawberry Cake

Strawberries were 99¢ a quart at the produce store:@) While looking for a recipe I happened upon this Strawberry Cake and as soon as I read the second review saying "my Mee-Maw used to make this", well, I knew I just had to give it a try! This is a nice cake and if you make the glaze as written make sure you keep a spoon handy to drizzle the puddle of glaze back over the individual slices.

I don't have 2-8" cake pans so I used a bundt pan, it makes a short bundt cake.
Half of the recipe would make a nice bread pan loaf cake.

Fresh Strawberry Cake-from Food.com

2 1/4 C cake flour, sifted-I used A/P

1/4 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 C butter, softened

1 1/2 C sugar-I used 1 1/4 C

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 C mashed strawberries-I put them through the food chopper

Glaze
1/2 C crushed strawberry-I used the food chopper

1 C powdered sugar

2 Tblsp butter, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla

1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder. 
2. In large mixing bowl combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes, scraping sides.
3. Add dry to wet, alternating with adding the strawberries and mix for 2 minutes.
4. Pour into 2 greased and floured 8" cake pans.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The bundt pan took longer.
6. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
7. For the glaze: Mix all ingredients but only add enough strawberries to make a pouring consistency. (I mixed the glaze in my 3 cup food chopper.)
8. Drizzle over the cake.

Have a happy day:@)
