Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients listed on the packaging, typically eggs, water, and oil
  • 3 cups strawberry pie filling approximately 1½ (21 ounce cans)
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat and Prepare Cake Mix: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix package directions. Prepare the cake batter as instructed on the package.
  2. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a 9x13-inch baking pan and bake according to the package instructions, typically for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Poke Holes: Using the handle of a thin wooden spoon, poke rows of holes across the cake about an inch apart.
  5. Add Strawberry Filling: Spread the strawberry pie filling over the cake, pressing gently to ensure the filling seeps into the holes.
  6. Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake.
  7. Refrigerate: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  8. Garnish with Fresh Strawberries: Just before serving, arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cake. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping for a richer flavor.
  • Experiment with different pie fillings like blueberry or raspberry for a unique twist.
  • For an added crunch, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers on top.
