One of my very favorite cakes my mom makes is this strawberry cake. It’s seriously delicious and taste like something you would get from a bakery. I LOVE strawberries and I LOVE cake…so OF COURSE I would love strawberry cake.

Strawberry Cake

CAKE

1 box white cake mix

1 3 oz. box of strawberry jello

1 C finely chopped strawberries (frozen is fine)

1/2 C vegetable oil

1/2 C water

4 eggs

ICING

1 stick of butter, room temp

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, room temp

1/2 C finely chopped strawberries

6 C powdered sugar

2 Tbsp of heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

• Pre-heat oven to 325

• Grease and dust with flour 3 round cake pans

• Combine all ingredients for the cake in a stand mixer and mix on medium-high until cake is fluffy (about 4 min)

• Pour batter equally in the three pans and bake for 30 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.

• Cool cake on a wire rack for about 1 hour and then carefully remove from pans and continue to fully cool on a wire rack.

• If you have the time, wrap the cake in foil and freeze. This step only helps in the icing process so don’t worry if you don’t have time to do this.

• For the icing, using the wire whisk attachment on a stand mixture, mix the butter and cream cheese until combined and fluffy.

• Add the strawberries and combine

• Sift the powdered sugar and add in 1 cup at a time.

• Add the heavy cream and mix until incorporated.

• Put a generous dollop of icing on the top of the first later and repeat until all three layer are stacked.

• Put a thin layer of icing on the outside of the cake and then place in the fridge for 15 min to firm up.

• Remove from fridge and finish icing until cake is fully covered.

• ENJOY!
