I'm not really good with baking to be really honest, I'm always fascinated when I see bakers knead breads, decorate a cake and what not. Sometimes, I'm gutsy to bake but just the simple ones and here's one of those. A strawberry cake, since I love strawberries...simple, yummy and not too sweet.
Strawberry Cake
12 pcs fresh plump strawberries
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1 bx cake mix
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 large kraft cool whip
1 bx confectioner's sugar
Directions:
Mash 8 pcs strawberries in pie plate with a potato masher, sprinkle with sugar and water then add strawberry jam and 2 pcs thinly sliced strawberries. Set aside, stirring occasionally to make juicy while preparing cake.
Bake white cake according to package directions. While cake is in the oven, combine confectioner's sugar and cool whip for the icing.
When cake is ready, let it cool down then turn layer out of pan onto cake dish with bottom side up. Spoon strawberry mixture onto cake allowing juice to seep into cake and add layer of strawberries. Then spoon icing over layer and smooth gently, do another layer with same procedure. Smooth icing on sides of cake, leaving remainder for top.
Refrigerate before serving.
