Austrian Strawberry Torte

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350, generously grease flan pan, flour to keep from sticking - I use cooking spray to grease pan

Step 2: Beat sugar and eggs until fluffy, add butter, salt, baking powder, and vanilla - mix well

Step 3: Alternately add flour and milk

Step 4: Spread into a flan pan, bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and centre is firm to the touch

Step 5: Carefully remove from pan, cool on cake rack,when cool place cake on your special serving platter, ice bottom lightly using just enough to seal the cake, give it a few minutes to dry before adding the fruit

Step 6: Arrange strawberries ( I cut the strawberries in half arranging concentrically starting at the edge - for variation make a 'strawberry flower' in the centre using about five strawberry halves then arrange the rest of the berries around to the edge) you may go with halving, slicing or whole berries when arranging your fruit - whatever works best for you

Step 7: Prepare glaze according to directions cooling slightly and pour over
