Best strawberry pie recipe

On a hot summer day we were with my in-laws and had this delicious cake. It looked absolutely amazing with all the big, juicy strawberries on top. Just by looking at it, I knew it would be a keeper! It is definitely the best strawberry pie recipe I have tried.

I must admit, however, that it took me some time to publish this recipe. I could not find the leftover paper on which I wrote the recipe. It is really a professional risk for a recipe collector / food blogger, you know!

Well, better late than never!

This cake is a perfect summer dessert! It reminds me of a Jell0 Poke Cake. I absolutely love that! They are so light and delicious ... just like this cake! I can't wait to do this again! YUM!

How to make the best strawberry cake recipe

This cake recipe is great because it uses fresh strawberries and frozen strawberries. However, you can trade the frozen strawberries for an equal number of fresh strawberries that have been macerated in sugar for a while.

Every spring we go to our local strawberry farm and we store all the fresh strawberries that we can feed. I use them to make jams, pies, strawberry salsa and this strawberry salad with poppy seed dressing.

This recipe starts with a mixed cake mix. Then add a strawberry puree and let it work in completely. The topping is a mixture of whipped topping and pudding. I love how the pudding gives the topping a hold. The entire cake is then topped with fresh strawberries. It is the perfect cake everywhere!

Over the years I have made this cake in different ways. I usually make it in a 13 × 9 cake pan. It is very easy and casual. Not picky at all.

However, sometimes I go completely crazy and let my round cake tins escape and give it a little height. It may look more exclusive, but it is still super easy to make. Anyway, you have an incredible dessert that is super easy to make.

This cake is amazing. Yet there are ways to change it if you want.

Freeze dried fruit: Try finely chopping and adding pieces of Freeze Dried Strawberries before baking, or grind them into a powder and add to the pudding layer to make this cake extra special.
Use other fruit: This is a great recipe for any fruitcake. Use what's in season, try adding blueberries for a festive 4th of July pie.
Add chocolate: Dip some of the strawberries in chocolate and sprinkle some melted chocolate on top!
Use fresh: This cake recipe is great because it uses fresh strawberries and frozen strawberries. However, you can trade the frozen strawberries for an equal number of fresh strawberries that have been macerated in sugar for a while.
