I created this dessert one Saturday when my daughter's friends dropped in. It was a hit, and word spread through the high school. It has been renamed "Amber's Dad's Good Stuff." —Frankie Allen Mann Warrior, Alabama

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup orange juice
4 egg whites
FILLING:
2-1/4 cups chopped fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
Whole strawberries for garnish

Directions

Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add egg yolks, vanilla and orange peel; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk and orange juice.
In another bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold into batter.
Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Gently peel off waxed paper and discard. Cool cakes completely.
In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar; let stand for 30 minutes. In a bowl, beat cream and vanilla until cream begins to thicken. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in sour cream.
PLace one cake layer on a serving plate; top with chopped berries and half of the cream mixture. Top with the remaining cake and cream mixture. Garnish with whole berries. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Delicious. Best cake I've made in awhile!

Beautiful dessert, however cake was a bit "heavy". If I were to make again I would double the filling and strawberries and divide the two layer into four layers. Cake is just too thick as recipe reads.
