Strawberry Short Cake ...

Mmmmm....Rain always puts me in the mood to bake! This is supper easy to make and gone over night. Enjoy I sure am :)

Strawberry Shortcake Cake

Ingredients:

1 box (16.5 oz) white cake mix

Additional ingredients to make cake; egg whites, oil and water

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (softened to room temperature)

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 (8oz.) container whipped topping (thawed)

1 container (13.5 oz.) premade strawberry glaze

3 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and cut into bite size pieces)

Directions:

Make your white cake according to package directions for a 9x13 baking dish.

Allow the cake to cool.

Then make the next layer.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.

Plop in your thawed whipped topping and combine well.

Smooth over the cooled white cake.

In a bowl combine the strawberry glaze with the sliced strawberries.

Spread this mixture on top of the cake.

Slice and serve.

This cake needs to be kept refrigerated.

Cook’s Notes: You can usually find the strawberry glaze in the fruit section of your grocery store. Most grocers keep it right next to the strawberries.

You can also make your own strawberry pie glaze if you have a favorite recipe for it.

Enjoy!
