Steps

    On serving plate, place 1 cake, rounded side down. Spread with 1/3 cup frosting almost to edge. Cut about 5 strawberries into 1/4-inch slices; arrange on frosted cake. Top with second cake, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting. Garnish with about 5 halved strawberries in center of cake. Sprinkle chocolate chips around outside edge of top of cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can bake the cake layers a day in advance and wrap them well in plastic wrap. The cake layers can also be frozen for up to a month if packaged in freezer bags.
  • tip 2
    You can make this cake in a 13x9-inch pan following directions on the box. Frost, and top the cake with sliced strawberries. The mini chips can be sprinkled over the top or just around the outside edge of the cake.
