STRAWBERRY SHORTCUT CAKE
At a flea market in Albany, Ga., I bought a collection of recipes a person that owned a restaurant had put together. Many of the recipes that were included were Pillsbury, Redbook, Better Homes and a few handwritten ones. Many of the clippings were from the 60's and 70's. This particular recipe is a Pillsbury recipe, though I could not find it listed on their web site. The recipe calls for using Pillsbury's All-Purpose Flour or Pillsbury's Self-Rising Flour. It also calls for using solid shortening, though I used margarine. It reminds me very much of a cake like cobbler. I hope you like it.

Steps:
- NOTE: If you use self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt. (I use self-rising flour all the time now so I don't have to add the other ingredients in all-purpose flour except when I make bread.) For high altitude adjustment, decrease baking powder to 2 1/2 teaspoons.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Completely thaw strawberries. Generously grease bottom only of a 13 x 9 inch baking pan. (I used cooking spray.) Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over bottom of pan. Thoroughly combine thawed berries with dry gelatin. Set aside. (No need to sift flour; measure by lightly spooning into cup and leveling off.) In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl occasionally. (It's very important to beat for the 3 minutes.) Pour batter evenly over marshmallows. (I used a large spoon instead of pouring.) Spoon strawberry mixture evenly over batter. During baking, the strawberry mixture sinks to the bottom and the cake is on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or cool with ice cream or whipped cream.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan, line it with parchment paper, butter the paper, and dust the pan lightly with flour.
- Whisk the flour with the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Lightly whisk in the butter, egg, milk, and vanilla, just until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn it out of the pan, flip upright, and cool completely on the rack.
- For the strawberries and cream: Set aside 1 pint of the best-looking whole berries for topping the cake. Hull and thinly slice the rest of the berries and toss with the granulated sugar. Set aside. Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To assemble the cake: Cut the cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom layer cut side up on a cake stand or serving plate. Drizzle the juices from the sliced berries over the cut sides of both halves. Fold a couple tablespoons of the whipped cream into the sliced berries and spread over the bottom layer. Top with the other piece of cake, cut side down. Spread the remaining whipped cream on the top of the cake and top the cake with the whole berries.
- Know-How: Cutting a cake into layers is easy as saw-spin-separate: Begin to saw the cake in half horizontally. Just before you reach the middle of the cake, give it a quarter turn. Continue to saw almost to the center, then give it another quarter turn and saw again until you reach your original point of entry. Saw completely through the cake's center and separate the layers.

Tips:
- For a sweeter cake, use a combination of fresh and frozen strawberries.
- To make the cake even more decadent, add a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting between the cake layers.
- If you don't have a cake mix, you can make your own using a simple recipe.
- Be sure to thaw the frozen strawberries before using them in the cake batter.
- For a more rustic look, use a bundt pan instead of a round cake pan.
