Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 oz cream cheese (optional)
Fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries gently.
3. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
4. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add cream cheese if using.
5. Spread whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake.
6. Garnish with fresh strawberries and chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Always cool the cake fully before topping to prevent melting.
For longer-lasting whipped topping, include cream cheese in the mixture.
Use a chilled bowl and utensils when whipping cream for best results.
