For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding finely chopped fresh strawberries to the cake batter or as a garnish on top of the frosting. If you don't have strawberry gelatin, you can substitute it with an equal amount of strawberry extract for a more subtle strawberry flavor. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also line the sheet pan with parchment paper before greasing and flouring it. The frosting can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to bring it to room temperature before frosting the cake.

01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch sheet pan to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Jun 16, 2025Next time, I think I'll try using a strawberry cake mix instead of white for even more strawberry punch!
