Cake Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix Follow the instructions on the box for additional ingredients.
Strawberry Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries Sliced
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup whipped cream Homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the cake according to the box instructions. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- While the cake cools, rinse and slice your strawberries. Set aside.
- Once cool, cut the cake into bite-sized cubes or squares for easy layering.
- In a large glass punch bowl (or any large serving bowl), start layering: first a layer of cake cubes, then a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a generous scoop of whipped cream. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a fluffy layer of whipped cream on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld and keeps the dessert refreshing and cool.
