Method (preview)

1. 1

   Cream the cheese, butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy.

2. 2

   Add a pinch of salt and the butter flavoring, and beat the mixture well.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

4. 4

   Stir in the flour.

5. 5

   Gradually add the sliced strawberries, gently folding them in after each addition.

6. 6

   Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan (I use loaf pans or those nice little mini-loaf sizes for gift-giving), and bake the cake in a preheated 325-degree (F) oven for one-and-a-half hours, until the cake begins to shrink from the sides of the pan.

7. 7

   Place the pans on cooling racks until cooled; turn cakes gently onto wire racks.

8. 8

   Blend softened cheese and margarine in mixer. Blend and whip in the sugar. Ready to spread.
