Ingredients
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen strawberries and set aside half for later use.
- Blend the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, strawberry gelatin, and the remaining strawberries until well combined.
- Grease and flour two 8 or 9-inch round baking pans.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool on racks.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you're short on time, you can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones. For a lighter cake, substitute the vegetable oil with applesauce. Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for a fluffier texture. Greasing the pans with butter and dusting with flour can help prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Strawberry Supreme with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Peach Ice Cream(Low Calorie) for a refreshing dessert spread. Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves to add a pop of color. This cake is perfect for gatherings or as a sweet treat with afternoon tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Strawberry Supreme in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the cake moist, you might want to place a piece of bread in the container. For reheating, microwave individual slices for about 10-15 seconds or enjoy it cold straight from the fridge.
