This pin on Pinterest caught my eye from Katherine's Kitchen. It is basically strawberry shortcake...but it doesn't taste basic! It is so delicious. I brought it to my son's Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts and there might have been a little competition on who got the last piece! I had to check the recipe twice because it did not call for any OIL or BUTTER. But it worked like a dream and actually cake out with the texture of angel food cake.
1/2 package white cake mix
1 egg
3/4 c. water
2 T. flour
Mix together the ingredients and blend on high for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 9 X 13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick tests done. Allow to cool completely before adding cream layer.
8 ozs. softened cream cheese
2 c. powdered sugar
1 c. heavy whipping cream
Beat the whipping cream on high until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and then gradually add the powdered sugar. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Spread over the cooled cake.
1 quart fresh strawberries (slice and sprinkle with 1/4-1/2 cup sugar and allow the juices to run)
-OR-
2 small packages frozen strawberries (thaw and save the juice)
1 pkg. Danish Strawberry Dessert (found near the jello desserts)
Mix the Danish Dessert using the 1 3/4 cup liquid method- using the strawberry juice and additional water to make up the difference. Cook according to package directions and cool completely before adding the berries. Gently spread the berry mixture over the cream cheese layer of the cake. Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
