How to Make Strawberry Stripe Refrigerator Cake

  1. **Prepare the Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  2. **Bake the Cake:** Prepare and bake a 13x9 inch boxed cake mix according to package directions. Let cool completely in the pan.
  3. **Poke Holes:** Once cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes 1 inch apart across the top of the cake.
  4. **Make the Strawberry Puree:** In a blender or food processor, puree 16 ounces (2 cups) of thawed frozen strawberries with 2 tablespoons of their juice until smooth.
  5. **Soak the Cake:** Evenly spoon the strawberry puree over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  6. **Prepare the Pudding:** In a large bowl, combine one 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk.
  7. **Whip it Up:** Stir until smooth, then gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream.
  8. **Frost the Cake:** Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the strawberry-soaked cake.
  9. **Decorate (Optional):** Garnish with fresh strawberries and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
