Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare 2 - 13" x 9" (3.5 L) cake pans.

Combine ROGERS NO ADDITIVE / ALL PURPOSE FLOUR, baking powder and salt together; set aside.

Cream butter, add sugar, then egg and beat until very light and fluffy. At low speed, beat in alternately (just until smooth), flour mixture in fourths and combine milk and vanilla in thirds.

Divide mix equally into two and turn into pans. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until done. Set on racks to cool completely.

Whip cream until light and fluffy, do not overwhip.

For filling, combine 1 cup (250 mL) of whipped cream and 6 strawberries diced. Spread evenly on top of one cake. Place second cake on top to form a layer.

Spread remaining whipped cream to completely cover cake. With a knife, draw the Canada flag on top of the icing. Carefully decorate the red flag colour with sliced strawberries.

Chill before serving and refrigerate leftovers.

YIELD: 24 - 30 pieces.
