This is a recipe that I make using a shortcut. I buy a strawberry flavored cake mix and make the cream cheese icing homemade. This is one of my families favorite cake recipes. I have made this cake completely homemade but my family prefers it this way. You will need the following ingredients:
Recipe:
1 box of strawberry cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
1 package of cream cheese, room temperature
8 tablespoons of butter, room temperature
1 pound of powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
I use two 9 inch circle cake pans to make this recipe. Grease the pans with cooking spray.
Mix the cake mix according to the directions and pour half the batter in one pan and the other half in the other pan. Hit the pans on the counter to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside.
Bake the cakes for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool for about 5 minutes then place them on a cooling rack. Tip: The easiest way to do this is to place a plate that is larger than the cake pans over the top of the pan and flip it over. The cakes will fall out easy this way.
