Strawberry Cake Bars Recipe

Our Strawberry Cake Bars are so easy to make because they start with a cake mix!

This recipe came together when I was craving our Cake Batter Blondies, but I did not have a funfetti cake mix on hand.

I did, however, have a strawberry cake mix, and the rest is history.

You could top it with your favorite buttercream icing, but I highly recommend this strawberry icing.

What other cake mix flavor would be good with this combination?

We are total cake people. If it has a fluffy moist bottom, and smothered in a frosting like substance, we are all over it.

These Strawberry Cake Bars are out of this world delicious, and full of flavor. It’s better than Strawberry Shortcake.

Here are a few other flavor combinations that would taste amazing with this strawberry cake.

-Lemon Cake Mix
-Cherry Chip Cake Mix
-Funfetti Cake Mix
-Chocolate Cake Mix

Ingredients

Bars:

• 15.25 ounces Strawberry Cake Mix 1 box
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• 3 Tablespoons strawberry jam
• ½ cup white chocolate chips

Frosting

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 Tablespoons Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Strawberry jam

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray pan (either 8 x 11" or 9 x 9" pan) with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine the cake mix, oil, and egg in a large bowl.
• Add the milk to the bowl slowly, you want the batter to remain as dense as possible.
• Fold in the strawberry jam and white chocolate chips.
• Dump batter in prepared pan and spread to the edges.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes (they will be a little soft/gooey in the middle- just let them sit for about 20-30 minutes and they will set up).
• To make frosting, combine all frosting ingredients together in a bowl and frost bars when cool (frosting is optional because these taste amazing without frosting, but I am a serious frosting lover, so I added some and loved the way it turned out).

Notes

• Add milk slowly to keep batter dense
• Let cake cool completely before frosting
• Don’t overbake, the bars may seem gooey but will set up
