Perfect for spring gatherings, summer parties, birthdays, and family celebrations, this easy strawberry sheet cake comes together beautifully in a simple 9×13 pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk (for frosting)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix and strawberry gelatin.
  3. Add eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Fold in finely chopped fresh strawberries.
  5. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow cake to cool completely in the pan.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup cold milk until thickened.
  9. Gently fold the pudding into the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined and creamy.
  10. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  11. Top with sliced fresh strawberries.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

For extra strawberry flavor, add a few tablespoons of strawberry puree to the frosting. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can substitute whipped heavy cream for Cool Whip if preferred. Make the cake a day ahead for even better flavor and moisture.
