Recipe Summary Vanilla Layer Cake With Strawberries

I modified the candy bar cake into a strawberry layer cake that has been a huge hit. I am now known in my circle of friends as the cake lady. For little girls' birthdays I sometimes add food coloring to the frosting for a more festive look. Otherwise, the white frosting with the bright red strawberries is beautiful. I get asked for the recipe every time I make it.

Ingredients | Layer Cake Fancy Chocolate Strawberry Cake

1 (18.25 ounce) package golden vanilla cake mix

1 ½ cups milk

¾ cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup confectioners' sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

3 cups sliced strawberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.

Beat cake mix, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla pudding mix together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until just blended. Scrape the bowl, increase mixer speed to medium, and beat until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour batter into prepared cake pans.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; fold in whipped topping until frosting is smooth.

Place 1 cake on a serving platter. Spread frosting on top of the cake; top frosting with a layer of strawberries. Place 1 cake atop strawberries. Frost cake and top with a layer of strawberries. Place remaining cake atop strawberries, frost the top and sides of the cake, and top with remaining strawberries.
