Ingredients

Strawberry Cake

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) Strawberry Cake mix (I used Pillsbury's Moist Supreme)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup freshly chopped strawberries

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup salted butter softened
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Strawberry Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and sour cream. Using a hand mixer, beat on low speed until combined, and then on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Fold in the cup of chopped strawberries until just combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until creamy and fluffy; about 2 minutes. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until combined. Add the milk and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until frosting is smooth and free of any lumps. Frost cake and serve! ♥

Notes

Store any leftover cake covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
