Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of water
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions.
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix following the package directions, using eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into greased cake pans.
- Bake as directed until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before removing.
- Mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Layer one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top, and then add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries.
- Repeat the layering process with the second cake layer, the cream cheese mixture, and strawberries.
- Finish with the third cake layer on top. Decorate the cake with remaining cream cheese mixture and strawberries as desired.
- Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Dust strawberries with a light sugar to keep them firm when layering.
