i want to make a strawberry cake?

Question

i want to use a white or vanilla cake mix and turn it in to a strawberry cake how would i go about doing it abd what frosting should i top it off with to make it taste really good

Answer 1

When I get a request for strawberry cake, I make a regular white cake mix and bake it in a 9 X 13 pan. I clean a large clamshell of strawberries and add some sugar. I refrigerate those overnight, so there's a nice syrup. Just before serving, I whip some heavy cream sweetened with a bit of sugar and some vanilla extract. I top the cake with the strawberries then cover the whole thing with the real whipped cream. People go crazy over this cake. Easy and delicious! Enjoy!

Here is an easy and delicious cake you can use:

Make your white or vanilla cake according to pkg directions.

Right after you take it out poke holes all over it with a butter knife.

Mix up on package of strawberry (or whatever) flavor you want to use of gelatine and pour it over the cake. Put it into the refrigerator overnight. Cover the entire cake in cool whip and then top with matching fruit.....strawberries if you used that type of gelatine or peach slices if you used peach gelatine etc. it is wonderful and my family loves it plus with it being spring now the light fruit flavor seem great. we are having this at our easter dinner I will probably make a peach and a pineapple or orange!! good luck!

Answer 9

there is a website I use all of the time it is called :www.kraftfoods.com. I have 5 kids and like easy creative ideas that the kids will enjoy here is a REALLY easy one for a strawberry (or other flavored) poke cake:
choose the flavor of cake as the base then choose the jello
white cake Strawberry
yellow cake Berry Blue
spice cake Orange
chocolate cake Cherry

We then make the cake as per directions on the box. when the cake is done we use a fork to poke the cake all over the top. make jello as per directions on the box BUT only add the boiling water to the jello and stir well, then pour over cake. Put in fridge like 3 hrs frost with whipped cream and serve!

We REALLY like this one as we use the cool whip to frost instead of frosting and it is fabulous and so very easy


this is the actual recipe:


PLACE 2 baked 9-inch round cake layers, top side up, each in clean 9-inch round cake pan. Pierce cakes with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals.
STIR boiling water into 2 pkg. (4-serving size each) Jell-O Brand Gelatin in medium bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Carefully pour gelatin evenly over cake layers. Refrigerate 3 hours.
DIP one of the cake pans in warm water 10 sec.; unmold onto serving plate. Spread with about 1 cup of the whipped topping. Unmold second cake layer; carefully place on first cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Decorate as desired. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
