Easy-To-Make Strawberry Cake Recipe

This is my easy strawberry cake recipe today! Do you love fresh strawberries? I sure do, and they are available in the stores right now. They are super big, juicy, and easy to slice.

I love strawberry pie, strawberry shortcake, and this wonderful strawberry cake recipe! It’s a white cake mix made with egg whites, pudding, mini white chocolate chips, and whipping cream (whipped) for the frosting. Just add the fresh strawberries and blueberries; this cake is a winner.

Our family has had an affinity for fresh strawberries for a long time. When our four daughters were very young, we lived in the Logan, Utah, area and bought a home on a half-acre lot. We had a large garden for our veggies, but a sizable space in the side yard for strawberries.

We planted both June-bearing and everbearing varieties so we’d have many berries to pick during the summer. Once they reached maturity, we sent the girls out before dinner to pick the beautiful red fruit. We enjoyed all sorts of strawberry desserts, and the girls loved that they had planted, nurtured, and harvested a crop they had a genuine vested interest in.

Mark loves his morning cereal. He typically adds sliced bananas and enjoys combining fruit and cereal while reading the newspaper or a magazine article. This week, he’s taken advantage of the strawberries we bought so I could make this cake. I wish you could see the smile on his face as he relishes each spoonful.

This cake would be perfect for a family party, reunion (take it in a cooler with ice), or a neighborhood get-together.

How do I store the strawberry cake after baking?

Please store the cake in the refrigerator, covered. The whipping cream on top has a limited storage life.

Can I use raspberries instead of strawberries?

Yes, you can. Raspberries are so good when they’re in season, too! Almost any berry would work great. Of course, some add more natural flavor than others, so pick the berry variety or other fruit you particularly enjoy and try.

You’ll have to consider what gelatin flavors are available to match the berry or other fruit you choose.

How can I keep my strawberries fresh a bit longer?

Please don’t wash them immediately; place them in an airtight container with a paper towel folded at the bottom until you’re ready to cut/slice them for use in the recipe. Rubbermaid Containers

    This looks better than Strawberry Shortcake. I love strawberries. I like fruit of most kinds there are a few fruits I don’t like but I guess I am just picky.

    1. Hi Jackie, thank you for the 5 stars, my sweet friend! I love strawberries too! Last night I also made a Bisquick “cake” for the leftover sliced strawberries. My son-in-law loves the “Bisquick cake”, so I bought a box. I haven’t bought a box of Bisquick for years, but the cake was yummy!!! We topped it with sugared strawberries (mashed) and scooped whipped cream on top. I love when strawberries are in season, oh my gosh, yummy!! Linda
