White Cake for Valentine's Day

Being unable to do a lot, I'm instead thinking ahead to next weekend. You all have Marti5515 to thank for this. She found a white cake recipe I posted and asked a question, which caused me to decide that this would make a lovely Valentine's Day cake.

First, the cake recipe:

ONE BOWL WHITE CAKE

2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract

Sift together the flour, salt and sugar, and mix with the oil and 2/3 cup milk for one minute. Add the remaining ingredients and beat at high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is well combined and somewhat fluffy. Pour into a Bundt pan and bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes, a sheet cake pan and bake 35 to 38 minutes, or two layer pans and bake (I think) 28 to 32 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Yes, Marti, this cake does call for two additions of milk, the second being with the egg whites, for a total of 1-1/6 cup milk. And given the rarity of a white cake made in one bowl, it's a wonderful recipe.
If you didn't try this when I first posted it, I'd recommend you try it now! It really is good.

My plan is to bake this in layers, which I rarely do, whip some cream and stir in sliced strawberries for between the layer, then make strawberry flavored icing tinted pink (using the lovely strawberry extract I recently found at Spice Barn com). My dearly beloved will adore it, as will Ryan. My baby will say it's OK, and Patrick will likely hate it. That's OK, he hates everything. I'll be sure to post a picture or two of the finished product, presuming I have the energy to keep up with my ambitious plans!
