Strawberry Shortcake Cake (With Cake Mix)

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, add butter, eggs milk, pudding and mix until smooth.

Step 2

Add cake mix and mix until just combined. Pour this batter into two greased/floured 8×2 round cake pans.

Step 3

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Allow the cakes to cool completely.

Step 5

While the cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the whipped cream icing.

Step 6

Also, prepare the strawberry filling/topping. In a large mixing bowl, add strawberries, strawberry jam and mix until combine and glossy. Keep aside.

Step 7

Use a serrated knife to trim the dome and slightly brown sides of the cake.

Step 8

Finally, assemble: Place one cake on a cake stand. Spread whipped cream on top. Add spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture. Place the other cake on top. Spread whipped cream and strawberries on top.

Step 9

Cover and chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Don't use saran wrap to cover the cake because the icing will stick to it and it will ruin the appearance of your cake. Instead, place it in a cake caddy or large cake box. The caddy is reusable, washable and also great for transferring cakes to parties safely.
