Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar.
-
In another bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg white mixture, one-third at a time. Fold in the vanilla extract.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mash the strawberries with a fork. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into three layers. Spread the mashed strawberries on the bottom layer, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining layers.
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
