Ingredients
To make this delicious white cake with strawberry cream cheese filling, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own white cake with strawberry cream cheese filling:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
- While the cakes are baking, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the chopped strawberries, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Once the cakes are fully baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread the strawberry cream cheese filling on top of one cake. Place the other cake on top of the filling to create a sandwich.
- Garnish the top of the cake with fresh strawberries, if desired.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Variations
While this recipe is delicious as is, there are plenty of ways to customize it to your liking. Here are a few ideas:
- Replace the white cake mix with your favorite flavor, such as chocolate or yellow.
- Swap out the strawberries for a different fruit, such as raspberries, blueberries, or peaches.
- Add a layer of whipped cream or frosting between the two cake layers for extra sweetness.
- Top the cake with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for added decadence.
