Time 5h55m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25-ounce) box strawberry cake mix
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons cognac
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (3-ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin (recommended: Jell-O)
Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Follow cake directions as written on cake mix box.
  • Remove from oven and cool cake completely. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine strawberries, cognac and sugar. Let macerate 20 minutes. Invert and release cake onto a decorative platter.
  • Whip cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla at medium-high speed until it reaches stiff peaks. Do not over whip.
  • Mix gelatin as directed on box. Refrigerate gelatin mix but do not let it harden, it should cool to a liquid consistency.
  • Using a straw, poke holes all over the cake. Pour gelatin into holes and spread over the top of the cake.
  • Spread layer of macerated strawberries on top of cake. Spread layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, making pretty swirls and ripples. Garnish with fresh strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

The cake was very moist and flavorful. The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.

Not a fan of the cream cheese frosting, but the cake itself was moist and flavorful. Will definitely make it again with a different frosting recipe.
