I made this cake once for a boy scout auction and it sold for $75.00! I wanted to say..."it's a cake mix!" but of course I didn't. Sometimes cake mixes can make fantastic desserts...this is one of them!

Wow! Potscrubber was not kidding. This cake is fabulous and so simple to make. I love that this is best served cold. It is so refreshing in the hot Arizona climate. Also, it smells so fresh and yummy. I was worried that the cake would be too sweet, but it was perfectly sweetened and all of the flavors went together very well. Thanks Michelle S.

    Not exactly as good as I thought it would be after reading all the rave reviews - probably won't bake this again. Just nothing special - my personal opinion.

    UPDATE: Made this cake again with the right size of strawberries. Last time i grabbed (2) 16oz. pkg. No wonder i had so much left over, sorry Michelle your recipe is perfect as is. This cake was awesome!! Extremely moist, and full of strawberry flavor. When spreading the strawberries on top of the cake let the fruit soak in on its own. I know it's tempting to get a spoon and try to guide the fruit into the holes, but don't do it you will only end up covering the holes (which is what i did). I used the icing recipe from #75591 What a great icing especially for this cake. Because it was a special occasion I decorated the top of the cake with chocolate covered strawberries, this made such an elegant and professional display. I hope you are as pleased with this cake as me and my hosts were. I took this cake to a friends house for dessert, NONE LEFT and 5 DEMANDS for the recipe. Thank you Michelle =)

    I had to try this recipe because it is very similar to the Better than Sex cake that I always make. The only exceptions are that for my cake I use a white cake mix and instead of pureed strawberries I use strawberry flavored jell-o. You recipe was wonderful and I absolutely love the flavor of the strawberries! My husband I couldn’t decide which one was best but I‘ll defiantly be making yours again soon.
