Strawberry Dream Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 box white cake mix
1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups whipped cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
Additional fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pureed strawberries, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for another 2 minutes until well combined.
Pour the cake batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the whipped cream and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form.
Place one cake layer on a serving dish and spread half of the whipped cream on top. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining whipped cream on top.
Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve.

Verdict:

This light and airy Strawberry Dream Cake is perfect for any occasion, especially in the warmer months when fresh strawberries are in season. The cake is moist and flavorful thanks to the pureed strawberries and has a subtle sweetness that’s not too overwhelming. The whipped cream topping adds a beautiful finishing touch and elevates the overall flavor of the cake. Serve this cake at your next gathering or enjoy a slice for dessert after dinner.
