Ingredients
-
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
-
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
-
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
-
1 1/2 cups sweetened strawberries, pureed
-
12 ounces cream cheese, softened and divided
-
8 ounces white chocolate baking squares
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream, unwhipped
-
1 (8 ounce) container cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
-
sliced fresh strawberries (to garnish)
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Bake the cake according to the package directions, except substitute the 1-1/2 cups of pureed strawberries for the water, and add 1 extra egg (if the cake mix calls for 2 eggs, add 3 eggs) and mix in the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese (set aside the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese for topping) beat until well combined.
- Pour/divide into prepared cake pans.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown (a toothpick inserted in the middle will NOT come out clean as this cake is SO moist).
- Let cool fully before frosting.
- For the frosting; heat the whipping cream until JUST beginning to boil.
- Pour it over the white baking chocolate (chopped), and add the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese; mix well, and let cool completely.
- Once cool gently fold into the Cool Whip thawed topping.
- Frost the cake, and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.
- Delicious!
