This strawberry cake recipe form the Goodner's is a twist on strawberry shortcake that is perfect for a summer dessert or a decadent breakfast/brunch. Personally, I am a huge fan of the movement to bring cake into my breakfast and still wake up dreaming of this cake.
Strawberry Cake Recipe
1 box white cake mix
1- 3 oz box strawberry jello
4 eggs
1 Cup cooking oil
1/2 Cup water
1- 10oz box frozen strawberries thawed (1/2 box for cake batter & 1/2 for frosting)
Mix 1/2 box of thawed strawberries with remaining cake ingredients until well combined. Grease and flour pans. You can use 3 cake pans to have mTore layers or use 1 sheet cake pan & slice down the center. Pour batter into pan(s). Bake for 30 minutes @ 350 degrees -
Mashed Strawberries:
remaining strawberries
1/2 tsp lemon juice
In a medium bowl, mash remaining thawed strawberries with lemon juice with masher or hand mixer.
Whipped cream icing:
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Beat the cream in stainless steel or glass bowl - never plastic and chill beaters & bowl in the freezer beforehand for about 2 minutes. Whip just the cream at the electric mixers highest speed until soft peaks form on the end of the beaters. This is when you can can add a little granulated sugar, confectioners sugar, a smidgen of vanilla, or a bit of booze. Whip again at high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks, but not a second longer or you will turn it to butter. (must keep dessert refrigerated)
To Assemble:
Slice fresh strawberries sprinkle with a little sugar and let them sit for awhile to absorb some of the sugar. Place fresh strawberries (not juice) between layers. Spead mashed strawberries and any remaining juice over the layer of fresh strawberries. Cover each layer of strawberries with whipped topping. Finish with whole or sliced strawberries on top - I like whole berries dipped in chocolate placed around top and a few sliced berries.
holy shit! That is a beast of a cake!
