  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, (chopped)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9X13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients (listed above on our recipe card) for the cake, except the chopped strawberries. Using a handheld electric mixer, set it on low, and mix until all ingredients are combined. Increase the mixer to medium and continue to mix for 3 minutes. Fold in chopped strawberries (1 cup) until evenly distributed.

    Pour batter into prepared baking and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Let cake cool completely.

Add 3 cups powdered sugar, adding more confectioners sugar as needed to create the desired texture. Add vanilla (1 teaspoon) and chopped strawberries (1 cup) and fold until evenly combined
