Ma’s Strawberry Tallcake

Base:
½ cup butter
½ cup sugar
4 egg yolks beaten
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda

Cream together.

Top:
4 egg whites
¾ cup sugar
Sprinkle on top:
1 tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. cinnamon (can add more cinnamon)

Add base mixture to two round greased pans.
For top of base mixture - beat egg whites until light. Add ¾ cup sugar gradually. Spread over unbaked mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.

Turn cake layers right side up.
Fill both layers with cool whip or whipping cream and fresh strawberries. (I usually add 1/4 cup of sugar to whipping cream.)

Enjoy!
