This pretty strawberry dessert really hits the spot on a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
- 3 sprigs fresh mint (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
Gently stir strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl; chill.
Step 3
Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk and egg yolks in a bowl, then stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Divide in half and pat into prepared cake pans.
Step 4
Beat egg whites until foamy in a large bowl. Continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Spread over dough; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
Step 5
Bake in preheated oven until golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack; cool completely.
Step 6
Place one cake layer on a large serving plate; spread with half the whipped cream, spoon half the strawberries over cream. Repeat layers; garnish with mint.
