Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 ounce cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs (at room temperature)
- 15.25 ounce strawberry cake mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons strawberry puree (reserved from above)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour. Set it aside.
- Blend chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the puree for the glaze.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, cream cheese, and 1 cup of sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed and scraping down the bowl after each addition.
- Mix in the strawberry cake mix and flour on low speed until just incorporated, keeping the batter thick.
- Stir in the strawberry puree (except for the reserved 2 tablespoons). Mix until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared bundt pan. Bake for approximately 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then loosen the sides with a knife and invert it onto a serving plate to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the strawberries are fresh for the best flavor.
Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing for a finishing touch.
