Ingredients
  

  • 32 ounces of strawberries chopped ~ 6 cups
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • White cake box mix
  • Box of vanilla pudding mix 3.4 oz
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Beat cake mix with 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, a package of vanilla pudding mix, and 3 eggs.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
  • Bake according to package directions, testing with a toothpick in the center that should come out clean when done.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • While the cake is baking clean and slice strawberries.
  • Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and let sit in a bowl for ten minutes.
  • Then lightly chop in a food processor.
  • Make the whipped cream frosting by combining 2 cups of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
  • Beat on high using an electric mixer for about 4 to 5 minutes until you get stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Once the cake is cool spread the strawberries over the top.
  • Add the whipped cream frosting next by spooning large drops all over and using a spatula to gently spread it all over the top.
  • Garnish with a fanned strawberry.
  • Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

If your strawberries are very ripe and sweet you can skip the 1/2 cup of sugar.
Similarly, you can adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream topping by adding a little more or less of the powder sugar.
