How to Make Hazel's Frozen Strawberry Cake

  1. Line a 9x13 inch sheet cake pan with half of the prepared crumb mixture.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 2 large eggs. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and is smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
  4. Spread the cooled butter mixture evenly over the crumb layer in the pan.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped pecans over the butter mixture.
  6. Spread 1/2 (8 ounces) of container of Cool Whip evenly over the pecans.
  7. Arrange 2 cups of fresh sliced strawberries over the Cool Whip.
  8. Spread the remaining 1/2 (8 ounces) container of Cool Whip over the strawberries.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top layer of Cool Whip.
  10. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. Let thaw for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow for easier slicing.
