Ingredients
Strawberry Cake
- 1 box white cake mix dry, unprepared
- 3 oz box strawberry jello dry, unprepared
- 1 cup fresh strawberries blended
- 1 cup oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 4 eggs
Strawberry Cream Frosting
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries blended
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cool Whip thawed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place strawberries in blender and puree well (one pint size package of fresh strawberries was about right for both the cake and frosting).
- Combine cake mix and strawberry gelatin in large bowl.
- Mix in 1 c. blended strawberries, oil and buttermilk.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Pour into a 9x13 inch pan lined with cooking spray.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely before frosting.
Cup of Yum
Strawberry Cream Frosting
- Mix together cream cheese and 3/4 c. blended strawberries until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar. Mix well.
- Fold in cool whip.
- Pour over cooled cake.
- Garnish with additional fresh strawberries if desired.
- Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- This fresh strawberry cake recipe makes an awesome cupcake as well. To convert this recipe into a cupcake, simply pour the batter into cupcake liners rather than the pan.
- You will need to adjust the cooking time down to baking for 15-20 minutes—just check for doneness before pulling the cupcakes out. Cool on a wire rack before frosting.
- If you are a chocolate lover, this cake also works incredibly well as a chocolate strawberry cake. Just sub out the white cake mix and instead use a chocolate cake mix. Nothing else in the recipe changes.
