Strawberry Shortcake-Cake image

My best friend loves strawberry shortcake. I love cake and love to make special cakes. I developed this combination just for her and now everyone at work loves it and I've even been "hired" to make it for a few people over the years.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box french vanilla cake mix
1 qt fresh strawberries (hulled and cut)
3-4 Tbsp sugar

  • 2. While cake is baking, add sugar to fresh strawberries, mash, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 3. Combine cool whip and frosting, mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 4. Once cooled, cut the top of one cake layer to level it, slice second cake in half and level top if needed. (you should have three layers of cake now)
  • 5. Place first thicker cake layer on cake plate and top with thin layer of frosting mixture.
  • 6. Layer mashed strawberries over frosting (reserve 3 Tbsp)
  • 7. Add next layer of cake, spread evenly with strawberry preserves.
  • 8. Top with last layer of cake, frost completely (you may have frosting left over--there is a lot)
  • 9. Add remaining mashed strawberries in the center on the top. May want to garnish with whole strawberries.
