Recipe
CAKE:
Spray a large torte pan or 10-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. In a
mixing bowl, beat egg and egg whites at high speed 4 minutes, or until
thick. Gradually add sugar; beat at medium speed 4 to 5 minutes or until
sugar is completely dissolved. Add dry ingredients to egg mixture; stir just
until combined. Heat milk with butter just until butter melts; stir into
batter and mix well. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20
to 25 minutes. Cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out of pan onto
serving plate. Cool completely before assembling the dessert.
GLAZE:
Mix together the chopped strawberries, water, and sugar in a medium-size sauce pan. Cook until strawberries is very soft and forms a sauce when stirred. Remove from heat; add strawberry jello and stir until jello is completely dissolved. Cool in refrigerator until mixture begins to thicken.
FILLING:
Clean strawberries and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour partially set
glaze over berries. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the berries and
glaze together. Form a foil collar around the cake, extending about 2 inches
above the top of the cake. Pile strawberry mixture on top of the cake. Put
in the refrigerator and chill at 6 hours before serving. Top each serving
with a dollop of low fat whipped dessert topping or some nonfat vanilla
yogurt or nonfat vanilla ice cream.
