My youngest daughter Scarlett loves strawberry cake. I kicked it up a notch by adapting it to a better than sex cake level. It's a lot of work, but WOW. If you like dense, moist cake-this is for you!

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Purée strawberries in food processor until smooth.

  2. 2

    Line bottom of two 8 inch round cake pans with parchment, spray sides with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    In large bowl, mix cake mix, jello, water and oil. After combined, beat on medium for 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    In separate bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form.

  5. 5

    Fold egg whites and 1/2 cup strawberry purée into prepared batter. Spoon into prepared pans. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pans to cool completely.

    Prepare the cream cheese frosting: cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in vanilla and powdered sugar until thoroughly combined.

    When cakes have cooled, use the handle of a spoon to poke holes all over the cakes. Place one cake on a plate. Pour half the sweetened condensed milk over, use a spatula to ensure it gets in the holes.

Happily married Christian mom of four. As a homeschooling mom, I get VERY bored with making the same meals regularly. I strive to have family dinners at least 5 nights a week. This app is my fave. Most of the recipes I add come from old church cookbooks, or are family recipes. I tweak almost everything I make, and every recipe I add is something I think is delish.
