Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Vanilla Cake Mix
  • 3 large Eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan alternative)
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (or almond extract)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 2 cups Strawberries (diced or thawed frozen strawberries)
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Milk (adjust for consistency)
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry Puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly blended.
  4. Pour half the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top, followed by the diced strawberries.
  5. Carefully pour the remaining cake batter over the strawberries, spreading it gently to cover them completely.
  6. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and strawberry puree until smooth and well combined.
  8. Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Drizzle the creamy icing over the cooled cake and serve.

Notes

Be sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and airy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
