GREAT-GRANDMA ELLEN'S JORDGUBBSTåRTA (SWEDISH STRAWBERRY CAKE) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Turn the oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9" spring foam pan. In a bowl melt butter, then add milk and let it sit. Then in another bowl add eggs and butter and mix those together. Then add the butter milk mixture and then the vanilla. Lastly add the flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let it cool before you cut into it. Cut the sugar cake in half so you have a top and bottom. In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like. Place half the whipped topping and 3/4ths of the strawberries over the bottom layer of the cut cake. Then add the top of the cake and cover with the remaining whipped cream and strawberries.
