Lemon Meringue Cake with Strawberries

2 cups sliced strawberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar

Stir together strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Heat oven to 350ºF. Spray square pan, 9x9x2 inches, with cooking spray. Beat flour, 1 cup sugar, the margarine, milk, baking powder, lemon peel, vanilla, salt and 2 egg whites in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Beat 2 egg whites in medium bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Spread over cake.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until meringue is light brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Top each serving with strawberries.
