Ingredients

• 1 Cup butter
• 1.25 Cups milk
• 4 Whole eggs
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Cups white sugar
• 2.25 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 2 Quarts fresh strawberries, sliced
• 2 8 Ounces (oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 Cup white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Cups heavy cream

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter and milk. Warm until the butter has melted, but do not boil.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 2 cups of sugar. Stir in the warmed milk and butter mixture and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
4. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the batter just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 55 minutes in the preheated oven or until a knife inserted into the crown of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the cream cheese, 0.5 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 0.125 teaspoon salt. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
7. Pour the heavy cream in a slow steady stream while the mixture is whipping until it has fluffed up and can hold a stiff peak. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula occasionally to remove any lumps.
8. Slice the cooled cake horizontally into three layers. Arrange strawberries on the bottom layer with the top ends facing outward. Fill in the remaining space with more berries.
9. Spoon some of the whipped cream over the berries and spread evenly. Place another layer of cake on top and repeat the process.
10. Place the top layer on the cake and cover with the remaining cream. Arrange remaining berries over the cream. Serve and enjoy!
