• glaze (clear glaze, mix as directed on package)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350, grease flan pan and flour to keep from sticking - I use cooking spray to grease pan.

   Add butter, salt, baking powder, and vanilla - mix well.

4. 4

   Alternately add flour and milk.

5. 5

   Spread into a flan pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and centre is firm to the touch.

6. 6

   Carefully remove from pan and cool on cake rack.

7. 7

   When cool place cake on your special serving platter.

8. 8

   Ice bottom lightly ( I make the icing just before icing cake).

   Arrange strawberries, prepare glaze according to directions cooling slightly and pour over.
