Strawberry Glaze Cake 🍓🍰

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 box white or vanilla cake mix (or homemade vanilla cake)

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

• ¾ cup water (or milk for a richer cake)

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Glaze:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, mashed or blended

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish (or use two 8-inch round cake pans).

2. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mix cake mix, water (or milk), oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

3. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

4. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mashed strawberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Stir and cook until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). If using cornstarch, dissolve it in 1 tbsp water and add to the mixture for a thicker glaze. Let cool slightly.

5. Glaze the Cake: Pour the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Let it set for 10-15 minutes.

6. Serve & Enjoy: Slice and serve as is, or top with whipped cream and extra strawberries!

This cake is sweet, fruity, and perfect for spring and summer! Want a cream cheese frosting version? Let me know!
