Step 1

Preheat oven tp 350 degrees. Prepare cake according to package directions. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans; pour batter into pans. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. 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 potatoe 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.
