Special Strawberry Torte
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
- 4 eggs,
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions, substituting four egg yolks for the whole eggs. Pour the batter into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Carefully spread over batter; sprinkle with almonds and remaining sugar.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 40-45 minutes or until meringue is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks, meringue side up, to cool completely.
- Place one cake layer with meringue side up on a serving plate. Spread with half of the whipping topping and top with half of the strawberries. Repeat layers.
