Green Parrot Inn Cake Recipes
 

OLD TIMER STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

1 pt. sour cream   1/2 stick butter
1/2 tsp. salt Flour
1/2 tsp. soda Strawberries
1 egg Heavy sweet cream
1 tsp. sugar sugar
 

Dissolve soda in sour cream.  Add egg, sugar, salt and beat well.  Add enough flour to make a batter of the consistency of cake batter.  Melt butter.  Add to mixture, and bake in well oiled 9" layer pans at 400 F. about 25 minutes.  Split and butter while hot.  Slice strawberries, add sugar, and cover with heavy cream.  Pour over bottom half of shortcake, add top half, add more berries, and serve at once.  This cake is not spongy, but is of a waxy consistency and does not absorb the fruit juice and cream.
