Recipe Box, Fresh Strawberry Cake
Summer strawberries, yum!
These berries were on the over ripe side, so I decided to chop them up and let them marinate with sugar and bake them in a cake
If you have time, put them in the refrigerator to sit overnight and absorb the sugar
I used Duncan Hines Strawberry Supreme Cake mix, and added dry strawberry jello, an extra egg, and used butter and milk instead of oil and water as directed on the box
Put half of the pretty pink batter in a greased bundt pan and top with strawberries
Then top with remaining batter
While cake is cooling, heat sweetened condensed milk with strawberry jam and cook for about 5 minutes
Set glaze aside to thicken and cool
Poke holes all over cooled cake top with a small skewer
Slowly pour glaze over all and let in drip down the sides
Make strawberry fans by slicing through the berry bottoms, about 5-6 slices, leaving the stem attached at the top. Gently spread slices apart with your fingers
Place strawberry fans on top of cake
Fresh Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
- 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons white sugar
- 1 box strawberry Jello
- 1/2 cup melted butter {8 Tablespoons}
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tablespoons strawberry jam
- red food coloring if desired
- 5-6 large strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Sprinkle chopped berries with the sugar and marinate for a few minutes or preferably overnight to let berries absorb sugar.
- Combine dry cake mix with butter, milk, eggs ,dry jello, and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes, stopping to scrap down the sides. Pour 1/2 of the batter into a well greased bundt pan. Top with fresh sugared berries, then add remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Check doneness with small skewer or cake tester. Continue baking if necessary until cake is just done. Do not over bake.
- Cool cake in pan on a rack on counter for an hour. Turn out onto a cake plate and let cool completely.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk into small saucepan and add jam. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until jam melts into the milk. Add red food coloring to enhance color if desired.
- Poke holes all over the top of cake with a long toothpick or small skewer. Pour glaze slowly over top of cake and let it drip down the sides and into the center.
- Slice berries from bottom up to but not through stem end, making 5-6 slices. Gently fan out slices with your fingers. Top cake with strawberry fans.
- Keep cake in the refrigerator.
🍓 Enjoy! 🍓

Looks delicious! Am I missing something? I do not see when or how much jello to add in the recipe. I love strawberry cake but have never tried to make one.
hi Tricia, thanks for letting me know, the recipe calls for 1 regular size box of Jello, you add it to the dry cake mix with the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla when you’re mixing the batter. I fixed the printable recipe if you want to print it out. I hope you enjoy!
