Note from our test kitchen; chopped pecans may be used in place of the walnuts or use both, this also may be made in an 11 x 7-inch baking pan (the bars will be slightly thicker)

Yield 36 bars

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts (or can use pecans)

1 cup milk chocolate baking chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

In a bowl beat butter until fluffy.

Add in flour, sugar and salt; beat until just crumbly; set aside about 1 cup for the topping.

Press the remainder into the bottom of the pan.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan combine the sweetened condensed milk with 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips; cook over low heat stirring until the chocolate has melted, then stir in vanilla.

Spread the mixture over the partially baked crust.

In a bowl combine the nuts with 1 cup milk chocolate baking chips and reserved 1 cup crumb mixture, then sprinkle over the filling.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until the center is set.

Cool then cut into bars.

A delicious moist yellow sponge-like cake that is just dense enough to hold the strawberries and whipped cream, plan ahead the strawberries must sit in the sugar for minimum of 6 hours to release their juices and the more sugar the better, you can use as much whipped cream and strawberries as desired the amounts listed are only a guideline, if desired you can make two separate cakes topped with berries and whipped cream in place of the layered…
Because of the small amount of liquid in the cake it is important to have the eggs and butter at room temperature and the milk lukewarm or all the ingredients will not incorporate together while mixing

SERVINGS 8

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pints fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced, or use as much as desired)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • sweetened whipped cream (use any amount desired for middle and top of the cake)

CAKE:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature (no substitutions)
  • 1 cup sugar (for a sweeter cake use more sugar)
  • 4 large eggs (must be room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup luke-warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (or use strawberry extract)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS:————————————

  1. Wash and remove the stems from each berry then slice.
  2. Place the sliced berries into a glass bowl, add in 3/4 – 1 cup cup sugar (the more sugar the better) toss with a spoon until well coated (the sugar will dissolve when chilled).
  3. Cover and refrigerate for about 6 hours.
  4. Generously grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
  5. In a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed cream together the butter and sugar until well blended (about 3 minutes).
  6. Add in eggs and extracts beat on medium speed for 4-5 minutes or until no sugar granules remain in the mixture.
  7. Add in milk and beat until blended
  8. In a small bowl mix the flour with baking powder and add to the creamed mixture; beat until combined.
  9. Divide and spread the batter between the two prepared baking pans (batter will be thick).
  10. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven (set oven rack to second-lowest position) for about 22 minutes or until cakes test done (do not over bake the cakes).
  11. Cool the cakes slightly in pan then invert each cake onto a plate to cool completely.
  12. Place half of the strawberries with a little juice over the top of one cake, then dollop half of the whipped cream.
  13. Top with the other cake, then strawberries and top with remaining whipped cream.
