Strawberries and Cream Cake

Recipe Ingredients

Let's dive into the delicious ingredients that make our Strawberries and Cream Cake so special.

White Cake Mix: This is our shortcut. The mix provides the foundational dry ingredients for a perfectly light and fluffy cake, saving you time without sacrificing flavor.  

Strawberry-Flavored Gelatin: The gelatin infuses the cake with a burst of fruity taste and helps keep it incredibly moist.

Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese provides a tangy, rich base that gives the frosting its signature creamy texture and delightful flavor.  

Milk: Just a touch of milk helps to thin out the cream cheese slightly, making it easier to whip into a smooth, spreadable consistency.

Whipping Cream: When whipped, it creates those beautiful soft peaks, transforming the cream cheese mixture into a dreamy, cloud-like topping.  

Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar (also known as confectioners' sugar) dissolves easily, ensuring a smooth frosting without any grittiness, and balances the tanginess of the cream cheese perfectly.  

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Water, vegetable oil, eggs
