Combine flour, brown sugar, salt and butter. Mix until crumbly, as for pie crust. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs. Combine egg, milk and baking soda; stir into remaining crumb mixture, blending well. Pour into 2 greased, paper-lined 9 inch layer pans. Sprinkle batter with reserved crumbs, then top with chopped nuts. Bake at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake tests done. Cool. Reserve several whole strawberries for garnish. Slightly mash remaining berries, sugaring to taste. Place one layer of cake on serving plate, nut side up. Spread with half of strawberries, top with half of whipped cream and cover with second layer of cake. Spread with remaining berries then swirl whipped cream around edge of top of cake, allowing small circle of strawberries to remain uncovered in center of torte. Garnish with clusters of whole strawberries around bottom of cake. From Geminis MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini

The strawberry torte recipe typically involves a light sponge cake base, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. You can find the specific recipe on the Pampered Chef website, which includes detailed instructions on how to prepare the cake, layer the strawberries, and make the whipped cream topping.
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones for the torte?

What is the best way to whip cream for the torte?
To whip cream for the torte, start with cold heavy whipping cream. Use a chilled mixing bowl and beaters for best results. Whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form, then add sugar and vanilla to taste, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn into butter.
How do I properly use the Pampered Chef torte pan for this recipe?
