Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box strawberry cake mix
  • 1 (22 oz) can strawberry pie filling
  • 4 large eggs
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 11×17-inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and eggs with a wooden spoon until combined.
  3. Gently fold in the strawberry pie filling.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake completely before adding the frosting.
  7. To make the frosting, beat cream cheese, vanilla extract, and softened butter in a bowl until creamy and smooth.
  8. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  9. Mash enough fresh strawberries to yield 1/2 cup (excluding juice).
  10. In a small saucepan, cook the mashed berries and their juice over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until thickened into a puree.
  11. Transfer the strawberry puree to the freezer for 10–15 minutes to cool quickly.
  12. Stir the cooled strawberry puree into the cream cheese frosting until fully combined.
  13. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  14. Refrigerate the cake for at least 6–8 hours or overnight for clean slicing. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Use a jelly roll pan for ideal thickness and even baking.
  • Cool the strawberry puree fully before mixing into the frosting to prevent thinning.
  • Refrigerating the cake overnight helps it slice cleanly and enhances flavor.
