Cooking instruction summary:

Set up 3 mixing bowls: 1 medium and 2 large bowls. In the medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder and tsp salt. Set aside.Separate eggs into the other two large bowls. Egg yolks into one and egg whites into the other. Beat egg yolks with cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow (approx 2 min). Stir in cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract.Pour flour mixture over your egg yolk mixture and beat on low speed with the mixer until just combined.With a clean, dry whisk, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form (1 minute). With the mixer on, pour in remaining cup sugar and beat on high speed until egg whites are stiff but not dry (1 minute).Gently fold egg whites into the yolk/flour mixture until just combined. Divide evenly between two cake pans and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn cake onto a wire rack and allow to cool to room temp.When cakes have cooled, trim the edges with a serrated knife to even out the edges.In a large measuring cup with a pouring lip, stir together of the evaporated milk, of the sweetened condensed milk and cup heavy whipping cream.Place one of the layers, flat side down, on a cake platter. Using a fork, poke the top all around, going all the way to the edges and poke through the depth of the cake. Use a spoon to pour on half of the 3-milk syrup. Let cake stand and absorb the syrup while you beat the frosting (see instructions below).Generously frost the top of your first layer, then arrange sliced strawberries over the top of your frosting.Your next cake layer will be placed with the flat side up; so before putting it over the strawberries, use a fork to poke the flat surface all around, going to the edges. Now place your poked cake top over the strawberries.Spoon the remaining half of the 3-milk syrup evenly over your top layer. Let cake stand 10-15 minutes for the syrup to soak in for easier frosting.Frost the top and sides of the cake and smooth out frosting with a cake spatula. I decorated the top with halved strawberries, placed at an angle around the top border of the cake. It was simple and just perfect.For best results with whipping cream, freeze your mixing bowl and egg beaters or whisk attachment for 15 minutes. Make sure your whipping cream is very cold.Beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream and 2 Tbsp sugar on high speed until thick and spreadable (about 1 to 2 minutes). Don't overbeat or it will turn buttery. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Food Joke

I'll swallow it all . . . I love the taste. Are you sure you've had enough to drink? I'm bored. Let's shave my pussy! Oh come on, what do ya say we get a good porno movie, a case of beer, a few joints, and have my friend Tammy over for a threesome! God..if I don't get to blow you soon, I swear I'm gonna bust! I know it's a lot tighter back there but would you please try again? You're so sexy when you're hungover. I'd rather watch football and drink beer with you than go shopping. Let's subscribe to Hustler. Would you like to watch me go down on my girlfriend? Say, let's go down to the mall so you can check out women's asses. I'll be out painting the house. I love it when you play golf on Sunday's, I just wish you had time to play on Saturday too. Honey..our new neighbor's daughter is sunbathing again, come see! I've decided to stop wearing clothes around the house. No, No, I'll take the car to have the oil changed. Your mother did a great job raising you. Do me a favor, forget the stupid Valentine's day thing and buy yourself new clubs. I understand fully...our anniversary comes every year for Christ's sake. You go hunting with the guys, it's a wonderful stress reliever. Shouldn't you be down at the bar with your buddies? Christ, not the fucking mall again, come on let's go to that new strip joint! Listen, I make enough money for the both of us, why don't you retire and get that nagging handicap down to 7 or 8. You need your sleep ya big silly, now stop getting up for the night feedings. That was a great fart! Do another one! I signed up for yoga so that I can get my ankles behind my head for ya...
