STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM BUTTER CAKES

Category: Cakes

1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 1/4 cups unsalted or salted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1 can (14 oz) sweetened sondensed milk
1/3 cup strawberry preserves
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced (2 1/2 cups)

Heat oven to 350. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Spray 13x9-inch pan with No-Stick Cooking Spray. Break up cookie dough in pan; press to cover bottom of pan.

In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla until well blended. On low speed, alternately beat in about 1/3 of the flour and 1/2 of the condensed milk, ending with flour addition, until blended. Pour batter over dough in pan, spreading gently to cover.

Drop teaspoonfuls preserves onto batter; with knife, swirl preserves into batter.

Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool until slightly warm, about 1 hour. 5 In small bowl, beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. 6 Serve warm cake with whipped cream and strawberries.
