Ingredients
- 1 pkg. white cake mix
- 1 1/2 quarts fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake according to pkg. directions. Grease and flour two 9" cake pans; pour batter into pans. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 min. Cool completely on wire racks.
Reserve 8-10 large strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining strawberries; place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Mash slightly with potato masher. Chill until ready to assemble cake, at least 30 minutes.
Beat whipping cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add confectioners sugar and vanilla; continue beating just until mixed.
Place 1 cake layer on serving plate. Cover with mashed strawberries. Top with about 1 1/2 cups whipped cream. Place second cake layer on top. Spread with remaining whipped cream. Garnish with reserved strawberries.
