Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all purpose flour
• 1¼ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ (1 stick) butter, room temperature
• 1¼ cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Milk Topping
• ½ cup evaporated milk
• ¾ condensed milk
• ½ cup whole milk (or lowfat)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• optional: 1 tablespoon sugar
• Topping
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1-2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

Directions

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In small bowl, toss chopped strawberries with a little sugar; set aside in refrigerator.
• For cake, sift together flour and baking powder in mixing bowl.
• In separate bowl, beat together sugar and butter until pale yellow and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating between additions. Add vanilla extract.
• On low speed, slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until fully combined.
• Pour batter evenly into greased and floured 8x8 square or 9 inch round pan. Note: I found there was enough batter to fill a larger baking pan. Since I wanted the cake pieces to be thick, I used a smaller pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
• Let cool.
• For milk drizzle, whisk together all three milks with vanilla and sugar.
• Beat whipping cream with sugar until fluffy, about 4 minutes; set aside.
• To prepare mason jar desserts, cut cake in 2 inch squares (or sized to fit in the mason jars). Press one piece in jar and then poke holes from top to bottom. Drizzle about a tablespoon over the top, add a spoonful of strawberries; finish with a dollop of whipped cream.
