Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1 (21-oz) can strawberry pie filling
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
Frosting
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 Tbsp butter
- â…“ cup milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, strawberry pie filling, vanilla extract, eggs, and ¼ cup of milk. Use an electric mixer to mix until all ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Then remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and â…“ cup milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a boil while stirring constantly to avoid burning. Continue boiling for 2 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
- Add White Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and the frosting is smooth and glossy.
- Frost the Cake: Immediately pour the warm white chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Let it cool completely to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before pouring on the frosting to prevent it from melting and becoming too runny.
- You can use a toothpick or cake tester to check doneness; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.
