Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Fresh strawberries
- 1 box Vanilla cake mix
- 240 ml Milk
- 226 g Cream cheese
- 120 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Whipping cream
- 10 g Gelatin powder
- 60 ml Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the vanilla cake mix box. Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box, using milk instead of water for a richer flavor.
Pour the cake batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake according to the package instructions, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, hull and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 60 ml of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then heat until fully dissolved (you can do this in the microwave for about 10 seconds). Let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and dissolved gelatin, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate cold bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the cake layer.
Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream mixture, then carefully spread the remaining cream mixture over the strawberries.
Top with a decorative layer of sliced strawberries, covering the entire surface evenly.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Slice and serve chilled.
