Sift flour mixture gradually over the top; fold in gently, just until flour mixture disappears.

Push batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan; cut through batter gently with a knife. Bake at 375° until top springs back when lightly touched. Invert on funnel until cold.

Whip the whipping cream with remaining vanilla and sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost sides and slightly over top edge of the cake with whipping cream. Cover remaining top with whipping cream. Cover top with strawberries. Serve or refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Yields 10 servings.
