STRAWBERRY MERINGUE CAKE 
1 pkg. yellow cake mix (2 layer)
1 1/3 c. orange juice
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. sugar
1 pt. fresh strawberries
2 tbsp. sugar
1 c. whipping cream

Combine first four ingredients and beat 4 minutes at medium speed on the electric mixer. Pour into 2 paper-lined and greased 9 x 1 1/2 inch round cake pans.

Beat egg whites with cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Spread meringue evenly over the cake batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes; cool. Remove from pans, meringue side up.

Mash 1/2 cup strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the whipping cream, and whip until stiff.

To assemble, spread 2/3 of the cream mixture over the bottom meringue. Reserving a few whole berries, slice the remainder and place over the cream mixture. Add the top layer. Garnish with the remaining cream mixture and the reserved berries.
