1 (16.25-ounce) package white cake mix

1 cup plus 1 teaspoon strawberry dessert topping, divided

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons butter, softened

2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar







Prepare cake mix according to package directions for a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Bake according to package directions; let cool 10 to 15 minutes.

Using a straw or wooden spoon handle, poke holes randomly into cake. Slowly pour 1 cup strawberry topping into holes, using a spatula to spread excess. Refrigerate 1 hour.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and remaining strawberry topping and beat until well mixed.

Evenly spread frosting onto cake and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.







I can't eat store bought cake mixes so I made my own white cake to do this with -



2 cups sugar

1 cup milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring - clear vanilla

1 cup shortening

3 cups sifted cake flour

8 egg whites, stiffly beaten

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder



Cream shortening and sugar in mixing bowl. Into another bowl, sift flour with baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with milk and lemon flavoring. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Turn batter into a greased 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350° for 55 to 65 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched lightly with finger.



and I made a cream cheese GLAZE -





2 ounces softened cream cheese

1/2 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoons milk

2 -3 tablespoons powdered sugar, depending on your taste

1/2 teaspoon vanilla



With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and milk.

Gradually add the powdered sugar.

Beat in vanilla.



and yes - I did add strawberry dessert topping to the glaze - I chose glaze over frosting because I used my Bundt pan and I also poked holes carefully and filled carefully
