Today is the boyfriend’s birthday 🎉 🎂 (I suppose now is a good time to remind everyone that the Boyfriend=Husband…. 32 years ago I married my boyfriend… just never found a reason to change his title😉)
And as always,  l’ve made him his favorite birthday cake, Strawberry Shortcake.  His Mom used to make him one every year as he grew up. She passed away very young so I never had the privilege of meeting her but I love that I can honor her memory on his birthday every year by making the cake she used to make for him when he was a child.

I love simple cakes. I prefer to serve this cake plain with a big bowl of freshly whipped cream and a big bowl of strawberries. This way I can cut the cake into thick slices and let people add their own cream and berries themselves!

Strawberry Shortcake made with Buttermilk Poundcake
.
.
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs 
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt 
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350F. 
Combine flour and baking soda and salt in small bowl. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk and beat well. 
Pour into a greased and floured fluted tube or bundt pan. 
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.
