Why This Recipe Works

You will be surprised how amazing this strawberry flavor cake really is. It is so moist and so easy that any child can make it. My kids make them all the time and the entire family devours it almost immediately.

The cake is amazing just alone but if you want it to look beautiful then I suggest you make a quick glaze and drizzle it over the cake. If you don’t feel like making the glaze, try garnishing each slice with cool whip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Best Cake Pan to Use?

We like using a bundt pan to make cakes because of the way they look but you can use any type of baking dish.

How do you Know when Cake is Finished Baking?

Cooking time will vary depending on your oven and the baking dish you use. We baked our cake in about 20 minutes. You will know that your cake is done when the edges our golden brown. You can also insert toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, then the cake is finished baking.

How to Store Leftover Strawberry Cake

Store leftover cake in an airtight container or covered on cake pan with plastic wrap. Cake is great stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
