Now for a fun and easy springtime cake!
There are no complicated directions for this cake!
Make 2-layer cake of your choice. An angel food cake or white boxed-mix cake would be fine. Bake and cool cake layers on wire rack.
Make Strawberry Sauce:
1 pound of strawberries -- reserve a few to decorate top of cake
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Puree strawberries in blender. Put strawberry puree in small sauce pan and add sugar and cornstarch. Heat on medium until just barely boiling. Take off heat and cool.
Place bottom layer of cake on cakestand and spread strawberry sauce on top. Place second layer on top of bottom layer and spread strawberry sauce on top. In the picture below, there is strawberry sauce between the cake layers, but it is not visible.
Whip one pint of whipping cream and add vanilla and sugar to taste. Spread whipping cream on cake. You may have leftover whipping cream, depending on how thick you want the whipping cream frosting to be. Garnish top of cake with fresh strawberries.
Slice cake and garnish with additional sauce and fresh strawberries.
Enjoy!

Well, I've found you again - it takes a long time when one has to trawl through the comments on someone's page to find a blog one had enjoyed.
So, now I'm a follower, and I won't miss a single recipe - and if i were to win, I think I'd like that Cuisinart Frozen dessert maker.
What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to enter. I could (and have) spent sooooo much time on CDNs website - there are so many wonderful things!
I think I might have to choose the pizzelle maker, or the ice cream maker... can't decided.

It would be so fun to have another ice cream maker. Ours died last year right in the middle of the most delicious coconut ice cream. So delicious that we ate the runny ice cream anyway.

Well, my 94 year old father eats a bowl of ice cream every night of his life, so I guess the most prudent choice for me wold obviously be the ice cream maker! Family traditionss, don'tcha know...:)

Luckily I recently acquired an ice cream maker - so I'm going to choose the Le Creuset baking dishes. I love everything they make, but my poor graduate student pocketbook doesn't!
abelmore@purdue.edu
Your strawberry cake looks divine. This time of the year there is nothing that can top a strawberry, unless it's homemade ice cream! I can't buy much ice cream that doesn't have sugar. The ice cream maker would be perfect for me, and I promise I'll sing your praises every time I post a new recipe using it!
Joni, I'm also a fan of your red couch and will follow you anywhere!
I have been a follower of your blog ever since you posted Esther Bolick's Orange Marmalade Cake recipe and I stumbled on your blog from google! :) Yummm great blog, and such a cool idea! I would love to win the French Home Gourmet LaRochere 12 ounce Tumbler (set of 6) in Napoleonic Bee Motif. I have long admired these glasses but dont want to pay so much for them!!! :) happy blogging!
Just found you today. The ice cream maker would be fun for summer.
I am a new follower of your wonderful blog!
That ice cream maker would be so fun, but I do need a new pizzelle iron and being able to make 3 at a time would be wonderful! Please choose me!
oops...forgot to give you my email address for when I win...
