- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- For the Strawberry Cream Icing:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup strawberry puree (blend fresh strawberries until smooth)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then set aside.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the batter, then evenly distribute the diced strawberries over this layer.
- Pour the remaining cake batter on top, smoothing the surface, and sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
- Bake the Cake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Icing:
- While the cake bakes, make the icing by combining the powdered sugar, milk, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth, adjusting the consistency with a little more milk if needed.
- Ice the Cake:
- Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before drizzling the strawberry cream icing on top. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
