How to Make Strawberry Refrigerator Sheet Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add ½ cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in one 16-ounce package of frozen strawberries, thawed and drained (reserve 3 tablespoons for the icing).
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 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. **For the icing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons reserved strawberries (mashed), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  8. Spread the icing evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
