Yellow Cake with Strawberries and Cream Cheese Icing

Yellow Cake with Strawberries

I make this cake for friends’ birthdays all the time.  It is simple and with a few added ingredients, this box cake tastes like it’s homemade.

Prep Time: 10-15 mins   Bake Time: 30-35 mins

Ingredients
1 box of yellow cake mix (I use Betty Crocker)
1/2  carton of strawberries (washed and sliced)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup vanilla soy milk
¼ cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is preferable)
1 jar of cream cheese icing

1.Bake cake according to box instructions with one minor substitution.  The Betty Crocker cake mix calls for 1 ¼ cups water.  I use ½ cup water, ½ cup vanilla soy milk and ¼ cup orange juice.
2. Next add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½- 1 cup sliced strawberries.
3. Stir till combined and pour into cake pan.
4. Bake cake for 30-35 mins at 350 degrees.
5. Let cake cool and then top with icing and sliced strawberries.

Delicious!
