Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, Crisco oil, and water until well combined.
- Add chopped or sliced strawberries to the batter and mix gently.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.
- Bake according to the directions on the cake mix box or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool before frosting or serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have Crisco, vegetable oil can be used as a substitute. To enhance the strawberry flavor, use fresh strawberries instead of frozen, and gently fold them in to avoid breaking them apart. This Strawberry Supreme Cake pairs beautifully with a light whipped cream frosting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat. It pairs well with a refreshing fruit salad or a light beverage like iced tea. For a fun twist, drizzle some Rum Sauce over the top just before serving for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week. If you want to keep it fresh for a month, consider freezing slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake the cake a day in advance. Just make sure to let it cool completely before wrapping it in plastic wrap to maintain its moisture. When ready to serve, frost it or enjoy it plain. This makes it a great option for gatherings or celebrations.
Can I use other flavors of cake mix?
Absolutely! While this recipe calls for strawberry cake mix, you can experiment with other flavors like vanilla or chocolate for a different taste. Just keep in mind that the strawberry flavor will be lost, so adjust your fruit choice accordingly.
What can I do with leftover strawberries?
Leftover strawberries can be used in various ways. Consider making a fresh strawberry topping for pancakes or waffles, or toss them into a salad for a sweet crunch. You could also blend them into a smoothie or make a batch of Strawberry Jam to enjoy later.
