Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 box White Cake Mix Use your favorite brand, no substitutions needed.
  • 1 cup Chopped Fresh Strawberries About 6–8 medium strawberries, hulled and chopped into small pieces.
  • 1 cup Water Room temperature.
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil Or canola oil, measured accurately for texture.
  • 3 large Eggs Room temperature for best rise and texture.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until well mixed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, top with whipped cream and more fresh strawberries before serving.

Notes

For extra strawberry flavor, reserve a few slices to press gently into the batter’s surface before baking.
