The ingredients needed to make Awesome Strawberry Cake:

Instructions to make Awesome Strawberry Cake:
- The night before or the morning of baking, slice 1 pint of strawberries. Sprinkle sugar over strawberries, cover and refrigerate. This will form a juice from the strawberries.
- Making the cake. Preheat oven as directed on box.
- Using the 2nd pint of strawberries, pull out 3-4 of the best looking strawberries. Clean, rinse and dice remaining strawberries.
- Mix cake as directed on the box and add the diced strawberries.
- Using 2 8-9 inch round cake pans, spray each with nonstick spray and add cake mix evenly.
- Bake cake as directed on box. Make sure to check the cakes with a toothpick to make sure they are done.
- Cool cakes on cooling racks until completely cool.
- If using heavy whipping cream, make as directed.
- When cakes are completely cooled, take one cake and place it on cake plate with bottom facing up (this makes for even top layer and helps to keep from cracking/breaking)
- Spread top of first layer with cool whip or the cream. Place all of the sliced strawberries from earlier all over the whip. Using a spoon, drizzle the juice on the strawberries. You will not use all, just use your judgement on how much to use. Sptead a thin layer of whipped cream over sliced strawberries.
- Place the 2nd cake with the top facing up onto the first layer. Spread cool whip or cream over top of cake.
- Using the 3 of the saved strawberries, rinse, cut off tops and slice in half lengthwise. Place each half around the top edges of cake.
- With remaining strawberry, I usually rinse and take the top off and place it in the center of the cake. Using the juice, spoon drizzle some over top of cake.
- Serve and refrigerate remaining.
- I just recently made this using a swiss chocolate cake mix. I also added bananas. If you want to try this, just add 2-3 sliced bananas onto the sliced strawberries in the center and spread cream over bananas. I also took another banana and made larger slices and alternated them with the halved strawberries on the top.
- Ready to serve and ENJOY!
Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake.
