Strawberry season is here and I couldn't be more happy! One of my favorite desserts of all time is my mom's Black Forest Cake (it's what I request for my birthday each year) and I thought that it would be delicious to make it using a white cake mix . . .
The results: AMAZING!
We have our own strawberry patch this year, so I am excited to make it many times over the summer.
This recipe makes two 8" or 9" cakes, so it's perfect for a party. Or to invite friends over to share. Or to just stuff your face with lots of cake. :)
Strawberries and Cream Cake Recipe
White cake:
1 white cake mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix
Prepare as directed on cake mix and divide batter into 2 (8" or 9") cake pans. Bake according to directions on cake mix and let cool completely. Place cakes on serving plates.
Cream layer:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip (lite is fine if you want to use it!)
Mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Divide evenly and spread half over each cake.
Fruit topping:
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
1 package Strawberry Danish Dessert
Mix the Danish Dessert with 1 3/4 cups water. Cook according to package directions. Let cool slightly, then dump in the strawberries. Let cool completely before dividing over cakes (I usually put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes).
Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve it (I usually like to refrigerate it for about 2 hours before serving).
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteooooooooo soooooo gooooooood!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt our house this is known as "Cool Cake". It is the cake that I request for my birthday too!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the strawberry dessert so I just bought the strawberry glaze sold in the produce section of my grocery store (Publix). However, my cake is so messy and top heavy and all the toppings keep falling off! Still tastes really good though ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! This looks so good. Seriously one of my favorite things for summer is deserts with strawberry. I can't wait to try your version. I will let you know how mine turns out. Probably not as pretty but hopefully tasty..
ReplyDeleteI am going to pin it to make sure I have it for later.

ReplyDeleteI've looked for strawberry danish dessert at our local Smith's, Winco, & Target with no luck, I'm planning on checking Walmart but if it is not there I'm going to have to settle for pre-made strawberry glaze. So excited to try this cake for our daughters birthday party today!
