STRAWBERRY LONG CAKE, A 1950'S RECIPE
I remember when my Aunt Clara gave Mom this recipe. It was sometime in the early 1960's. Since we raised acres of strawberries on the farm Mom always had a supply of fresh or frozen berries and was looking for new ways to use them. This became a year round favorite with the frozen berries.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sweeten berries with sugar to your liking. Set aside.
- 2. Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, butter, egg, and milk to make a biscuit like dough. Spread dough into a greased 9 by 13 inch pan, or similar sized casserole dish, covering the entire bottom of the pan.
- 3. Pour strawberries (liquid and all) over top of dough. Do NOT stir. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until a knife stuck in center of cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and sprinkle top with powdered sugar. Serve warm with ice cream. Serves 6.

Steps:
- Place the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sugar over them. Toss with the lemon juice and salt. Let the strawberries macerate and get juicy for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Whip the heavy cream with the remaining tablespoon sugar until soft peaks. Then add the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
- In an 8-ounce glass (or mason jar, which I like to use), layer some crumbled Grapevine KY Buttermilk Biscuits with some macerated strawberries and spoonfuls of whipped cream. Keep alternating layers until the jar is full, and then try not to eat like a complete animal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a heavy cast-iron skillet (preferably 12 inch) into the oven to preheat. Chill a large mixing bowl, pastry cutter, the flour and 1 stick of the butter in the freezer 15 minutes before assembling the biscuits.
- Add the flour to the chilled mixing bowl. Working quickly, cut 1 stick of the butter into the flour using the chilled pastry cutter (or your fingers); the goal here is pea-size balls of butter. In batches, add in the buttermilk until the dough is cohesive yet still moist. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the business end of a dry measuring cup, cut out 10 biscuits. (Use the extra dough to cook up a big piece of shortcake for dessert....strawberry shortcake!)
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil. Place the dough rounds into the hot skillet, right up against each other, and brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.

Steps:
- Butter and line the bases of three 18cm cake tins. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Blend the butter and sugar in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, flour and yogurt and blend again. Add 200g strawberries (save the best ones to decorate) and the vanilla. Blend once more, until the mixture is well combined.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the three cake tins. Spread and smooth the tops with a spatula, then bake for 25-30 mins, until the cakes have risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Return to the oven for another 5 mins if any wet mixture clings to the skewer. Leave in the tins for 5 mins, then turn onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. The cakes can be made up to two days before icing, or frozen for two months.
- For the icing, blend the butter and half the sugar until smooth and creamy, add the soft cheese and the remaining sugar and blend again. Be careful not to over mix as the icing will become runny. (If you do overmix, don't worry - keep mixing with an electric whisk and it'll thicken back up).
- Layer the cakes with the jam and half the icing. Invert the final cake on top, so the base of the cake it now the top, giving you a flat surface. Pile the rest of the icing on top of the cake, using a palette knife to spread the icing over the top and down the sides. Save a little icing to pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake, if you like. Top with the remaining strawberries. Can be made up to a day ahead of serving, keep somewhere cool or in the fridge. Will keep for three days.
