This amazing cake bursts with scrumptious strawberry flavor. The cake includes a strawberry cake mix and strawberry pie filling. The cream cheese icing includes cooked, mashed strawberries that sets the cake off wonderfully.

I made this cake back in October for John to take out to the Day Neuro staff when he was in intensive rehab for a stroke. I tried to send them treats weekly to enjoy. This one was very well received and didn’t last long. The cake is moist and delicious but the icing is spectacular. Adding the strawberries takes this recipe over the top.
This sweet dessert is perfect when serving a crowd because it makes 48 servings. It’s also terrific for holidays or company because it’s festive, elegant and oh so drool-worthy. Give it a try and you’ll see what I mean.
