Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 box strawberry cake mix
1/2cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1cup buttermilk
1/2cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen, blended and strained)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1cup heavy whipping cream
1/4cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, eggs, buttermilk, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cake cool completely in the pan.
For the frosting, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and whip until fluffy and spreadable.
Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use room-temperature ingredients for better mixing.
Ensure cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
