"Everyone's favorite during strawberry season. I think homemade whipped cream is essential to this comfort food. Prep time doesn't include letting the strawberries sit. Instructions included for serving over a simple cake, but the options are endless. I like to serve it over Sour Cream Pound Cake or Buttermilk Biscuits too."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Strawberries:
Step 2
Fill sink with water and add strawberries to rinse them. One at a time, pick up a strawberry, cut of the top and slice in half, adding to a bowl.
Step 3
Sprinkle 4 tablespoons sugar over strawberries, toss well. Cover and let sit for a few hours so juice has time to accumulate. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Step 4
Whipped Cream:
Step 5
Chill your cream, bowl and beaters before making whipped cream for a faster and better end product. But it's not the end of the world if you forget.
Step 6
Whip cream until stiff, but don't over-mix. Continue mixing while adding sugar in a slow stream, then add vanilla and salt. Cover and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
Step 7
Cake:
Step 8
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 9 pan.
Step 9
In mixer, combine dry ingredients. Add shortening, first portion milk and vanilla, beating for 2 minutes.
Step 10
Add remaining milk and egg, beat for 2 more minutes. Pour into prepared pan.
Step 11
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until done. Or bake 45-50 minutes for doubled recipe and 55-60 minutes for tripled.
Step 12
This cake is under my recipes as my grandmother's One Egg Cake.
