Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions, but replace the water with 1 1/2 cups of pureed sweetened strawberries and add one additional egg (e.g., if the package calls for 2 eggs, use 3).
4
Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese to the cake batter and blend until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and creamy.
5
Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center may not come out completely clean due to the moisture from the strawberries.
7
Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before transferring to a wire rack.
8
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by heating 1 cup of heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil.
9
Remove from heat and pour it over 8 ounces of chopped white chocolate squares. Add the remaining 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.
10
Let the frosting mixture cool to room temperature, then gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined.
11
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, place the other layer on top, and frost the entire cake. Finally, garnish with freshly sliced strawberries for an appealing finish.
