  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/3 cup butter

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 quart strawberries, stemmed and sliced in half

Preheat oven to 450 F. Grease a round 8 1 1/2 inch cake pan.

In a medium bowl, mix strawberries and 1 cup sugar. Set aside.

Mix flour, 2 T. sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until it makes a fine meal. Stir in milk until blended. Pour mixture into cake pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

While still warm, split cake in half horizontally so that it makes two thin layers. Fill with berries and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
