Zubereitung von Aunt Mary's Southern Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and beat until glossy.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the strawberry syrup: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups sliced strawberries and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until strawberries soften and release their juices. Strain the syrup, reserving the juice.
- Once cakes are completely cool, slice and drizzle generously with the strawberry syrup.
