Steps:
- Set the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Bake the cake according to the package directions, except substitute the 1-1/2 cups of pureed strawberries for the water, and add 1 extra egg (if the cake mix calls for 2 eggs, add 3 eggs) and mix in the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese (set aside the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese for topping) beat until well combined.
- Pour/divide into prepared cake pans.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown (a toothpick inserted in the middle will NOT come out clean as this cake is SO moist).
- Let cool fully before frosting.
- For the frosting; heat the whipping cream until JUST beginning to boil.
- Pour it over the white baking chocolate (chopped), and add the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese; mix well, and let cool completely.
- Once cool gently fold into the Cool Whip thawed topping.
- Frost the cake, and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.
- Delicious!
Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This dreamy strawberry cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light, fluffy, and bursting with strawberry flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, and the fresh strawberries on top add a touch of elegance. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it at home with your family, this cake is sure to be a hit.
