Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake
  • 1 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • Whipped cream
  • 3 quarts fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
Directions
In a bowl, cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Spread in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 (I ended up baking about 30) minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Cut into serving size pieces. Split each serving horizontally and fill with whipped cream and strawberries. Replace top of cake; garnish with more berries and a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
