Mom’S Favorite White Cake

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vanilla or white chips
• 1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
• 1/3 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons seedless strawberry jam
• 1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup drained crushed pineapple

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Pour into two greased 6-in. round baking pans.
2. Bake at 350u0b0 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a microwave, melt vanilla chips; stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. In a small bowl, combine topping mix and milk. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. Beat in jam and melted chips until blended. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes or until frosting achieves a spreading consistency.
4. For filling, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup frosting with strawberries and pineapple. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Store in the refrigerator.
