As far as flavor combos go, strawberries and cream is definitely a classic. Sweet and juicy berries paired with rich cream, who could resist that? Strawberry recipes are a no-brainer in the summer months, but I can’t help but crave those fruity flavors all year long. And that’s where this Double Strawberry Cake recipe comes in! It’s made with fresh or frozen pureed berries and topped with a generous amount of strawberry cream cheese frosting. Yum!
The process is super simple with the use of a boxed white cake mix. A little extra flour is added along with a box of strawberry jello, water, oil, eggs, and 1 cup of pureed strawberries. I typically use fresh strawberries when making this recipe and just pulse them in the blender until smooth. If you’re using frozen berries you’ll want to thaw and drain them before pureeing for optimal results.
