3/4 lb Butter — softened
1/2 lb Cream cheese — softened
2 c Sugar
1 pn Salt
2 ts Butter flavoring
6 Eggs — room temperature
3 c Sifted flour
1 pt Fresh strawberries —
1 Sliced
Cream the cheese, butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add a pinch of salt and the butter flavoring, and beat the mixture
well. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each
addition. Stir in the flour. Gradually add the sliced strawberries,
gently folding them in after each addition.
Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan (I use loaf
pans or those nice little mini-loaf sizes for gift-giving), and bake
the cake in a preheated 325-degree (F) oven for one-and-a-half hours,
until the cake begins to shrink from the sides of the pan.
Place the pans on cooling racks until cooled; turn cakes gently onto
wire racks.
