00:00 The US National Archives Museum celebrated the life and legacy of Rosalind Carter by sharing her famous
00:05 strawberry cake. They say that it is a Carter family favorite.
00:10 The recipe was printed on White House letterhead and it really is super simple and
00:15 classic. Because we're adding a little bit more liquid than we typically would add in two tablespoons of flour,
00:20 she also calls for 10 ounces of frozen strawberries or fresh strawberries mixed with sugar because frozen strawberries have that sugar in there.
00:28 I'm not draining them. That extra juice is going to be delicious.
00:31 I don't have an angel food cake pan, but I do have a tube pan.
00:35 The only difference is that an angel food cake pan has a bottom that can come off kind of like a springform pan.
00:40 It is smelling so sweet and delicious. Mrs. Rosalind Carter says that you can serve it plain or with whipped cream,
00:48 which is definitely what I'm gonna be doing. Perfect. Simple, classic, just as sweet as Miss Carter was.
