Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Happy Birthday Cake Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup milk, your choice
  • 1⁄3 cup oil + more for brushing
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 tbsp Summer Berry Sweet Dip Mix, or sugar
  • 3⁄4 cup whipping cream

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 325° F. Line 1⁄4 Sheet Pan with 1⁄4 Sheet Pan Liner. Lightly brush with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla until just combined.
  3. Pour batter onto pan and spread to edges. Bake 23–25 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let rest 10 min, then invert cake onto Cooling Rack. Let cool completely.
  4. Meanwhile, using an electric beater, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine strawberries and dip mix. Microwave, uncovered, on high 1 min, or until hot. Gently mash with a fork.
  6. To assemble, cut cake into 3 equal rectangles. Place bottom layer on a platter. Spread 1⁄4 cup whipped cream and 3 tbsp berry mixture over top. Top with next layer and repeat.
  7. Spread remaining whipped cream over entire cake and top with remaining berry mixture.
