STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM LAYER CAKE
From the June 2001 issue of "Bon Appetit", a wonderful-tasting cake that my oldest daughter likes to have on her birthday. If using handpicked, very ripe strawberries, then the strawberry puree made from frozen strawberries is most likely unnecessary. The cake would make a nice ending to a special summer dinner.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM LAYER CAKE
There's always room for this, because it's so light. It's like a Norwegian-style strawberry shortcake. For best results, stack the layers with the cut side up because they'll hold the strawberries better. And for easy cutting, use a serrated knife. Posted for ZWT 6.
