How to Make Refrigerated Strawberry Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, substituting the water with the milk and oil.
  3. Gently fold in the fresh strawberries.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. Once cool, frost with your favorite strawberry frosting (recipe suggestions included below!) or a simple whipped cream topping.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
