Ingredients

Strawberry Cake

  • 15.25 ounces strawberry cake mix + ingredients to prepare

Lemon Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Garnishes

  • Strawberries and lemon slices for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer, combine cake mix plus ingredients to prepare. Mix batter according to package directions. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
  • Place cake in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake according to package directions or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake completely about 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and lemon juice on high speed. Whip until stiff (about 2-3 minutes). Gently fold in the lemon zest by hand until well combined. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to frost the cake.
  • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake. Decorate with strawberries and lemon slices and serve.
