This light and luscious cake, along with fresh strawberries, is a "berry good" dessert to serve at a church ice cream social.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 to 2 quarts fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions

Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Place in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add oil, egg yolks and orange juice; beat with a spoon until smooth.
In a bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually add batter, folding gently until blended. Pour into an ungreased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 325° for 50-55 minutes. Invert immediately on wire rack, but keep in pan. When cool, remove cake from pan and slice into 12 pieces. Top each slice with berries, ice cream and whipped cream.
