How to Make Strawberry Creamy Dreamy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix according to package directions, substituting 1 1/2 cups of pureed fresh strawberries for the water.
  3. Add 1 extra large egg and 8 ounces (227g) of softened cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
  4. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
  8. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream over medium heat until just simmering. Do not boil.
  9. Pour hot cream over 8 ounces (227g) white baking chocolate, chopped. Let stand for 1 minute.
  10. Whisk until smooth and glossy. Stir in 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese until fully incorporated.
  11. Let the frosting cool completely to room temperature.
  12. Once cool, gently fold in 8 ounces (227g) thawed Cool Whip.
  13. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of frosting. Top with the second cake layer.
  14. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.
  15. Serve and enjoy your dreamy strawberry cake!
