Ingredients

  • 1 pound salted butter softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 whole large eggs room temperature
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 pounds fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup orange marmalade

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease a 9x13" baking dish and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer beat butter until light, fluffy and pale yellow-- about 3-5 minutes depending on your mixer. Slowly add in sugar and beat again until light and fluffy-- an additional 3 minutes or until mixture is very very light in color and texture.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating each until the egg is incorporated.
  • Scrape bowl well and beat on low, alternating adding in the flour and milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined between each addition. Batter should be free of lumps of flour but resist the urge to over-mix. If there are still lumps, try gently mixing by hand with a spatula. Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish and gently smooth into an even layer. Bake 80-90 minutes. The crust will be golden and a skewer inserted into the middle should come out with only moist crumbs on it.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes and then poke holes all through it with the end of a wooden spoon or a really fat straw.
  • Combine 3 C cold milk with the pudding mix and whisk until the mix is dissolved-- about one minute. Pour over warm cake, making sure that the pudding goes into the holes. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
  • Slice strawberries and toss with the orange marmalade. Arrange strawberries over the top of the cake, slice and serve.
