Ingredients

12 oz butter, softened

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cup granulated sugar

1 pinch salt

6 eggs, room temperature

3 cup flour, sifted

2 cups strawberries, sliced

Preparation

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

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

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

Stir in the flour.

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

Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan (loaf pans or mini-loaf sizes for gift- giving), and bake the cake in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for 1 ½ hours, until the cake begins to shrink from the sides of the pan.

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