It’s summertime and that means lots of fresh fruit! My mom and I are both big fruit fans, especially berries. When I was visiting recently and she requested I make a special dessert for dinner I knew I could whip something up with the fresh strawberries she had in the fridge. Since I was in a bit of a rush I opted to use a box cake mix, but knew I could enhance it by adding some pudding mix, and of course some of those strawberries! Using both strawberry puree and strawberries in combination with the pudding mix yielded an incredibly flavorful and moist cake. Topped with some simple strawberry cream cheese frosting and whipped cream this cake turned into a truly decadent treat. Whip this up for a party and you’ll be lucky to have leftovers.
