I RECEIVED this recipe as part of a wedding gift. I have made it for a couple of summer gatherings with friends and most recently when my husband requested that I make it for his birthday. -Tricia Bryan, Bolivar, Ohio

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
FROSTING/FILLING:
1/2 cup vanilla or white chips
1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
1/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons seedless strawberry jam
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/4 cup drained crushed pineapple

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Pour into two greased 6-in. round baking pans.
  • Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a microwave, melt vanilla chips; stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine topping mix and milk. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. Beat in jam and melted chips until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes or until frosting achieves a spreading consistency.
  • For filling, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup frosting with strawberries and pineapple. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Store in the refrigerator.
  • Yield: 6 servings.
