Ingredients
  

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries pureed
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Frosting:

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup strawberry puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
  

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the cake pan lightly. This helps prevent sticking and ensures the cake comes out clean after baking.

Prepare the Batter

  • In a large bowl, add cake mix, strawberry puree, oil, eggs, milk and vanilla. Mix everything well using a mixer until smooth and lump-free batter forms.

Pour into Pan

  • Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan. Spread evenly using a spatula. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles for a smooth cake surface.

Bake the Cake

  • Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 28–30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Cool the Cake

  • Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before frosting.

Prepare the Frosting

  • In a bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar slowly. Mix well. Add strawberry puree and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy frosting forms.

Frost the Cake

  • Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Use a spatula to smooth the top. You can also decorate with fresh strawberries for a better look.

Slice and Serve

  • Cut the cake into slices. Serve fresh and enjoy. The cake is soft, moist, and full of strawberry flavor in every bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor
  • Do not overmix the batter
  • Let the cake cool before frosting
  • Use room temperature ingredients
  • Add extra strawberry pieces for texture
  • Store frosting in the fridge if needed
