DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9 inch round cake pans.
Make cake per directions except substitute the 1 1/2 cups of strawberries for the water and add 1 extra egg, (if cake mix calls for 2 eggs add 3), and 8 ounces of the cream cheese at room temperature. Beat well and pour into the prepared pans.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center will not come out clean when this cake is done since it is so moist. Let cake cool fully before frosting.
To Make Frosting: Heat the heavy cream until just beginning to boil. Pour it over the white chocolate (chopped) and the remaining 4 ounces cream cheese. Mix well and let cool. Once cool fold into the whipped topping. Use to frost cooled cake and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.

Everybody loved this. I made it in a 13X9 sheet pan for easy transport. I also used strawberry cream cheese in the cake, and unsweetened strawberries (measured before I pureed them) with 2.5 T sugar added. Everything mixed up fine in my mixer after a few minutes. The cake baked in about 32 minutes, and was moist but not soggy. The frosting was also delicious- make sure the cream cheese is at room temp. and the whipped topping is thawed for it to mix well. If assembling a layer cake, the frosting would definitely need to be refrigerated in order to hold, as well as after the cake is made or it will fall apart. Otherwise, this was easy and just delicious!

This cake is my husbands new favorite cake! I've made it several times already. Several reviewers mentioned that the strawberry flavor was not strong enough. I've found that this is easily remedied by using strawberry cream cheese in the cake and making it a day in advance and storing in the fridge. The flavor is much stronger (and tastier) the next day. Also an easy way to make sure you have no clumps in your frosting; let the cream cheese come to room temperature, dice up into cubes and put in a blender, pour the warm chocolate/cream mixture over cream cheese, cover and blend until smooth. I've made the frosting with both cool whip and fresh whipping cream it is much better with heavy whipping cream. This is my go to recipe whenever we have company for dinner.***update*** I just made this with raspberries instead of strawberries and it was AMAZING! I just used raspberry cream cheese and sweetened pureed raspberries that i put through a siv(sp?) to get out all the seeds.

Hands down one of the best cakes I have ever made. At first I thought I did something wrong because the batter was very thick and dense, and I thought it wouldnt rise well. But it ended up great and only lasted a few hours. The BEST strawberry cake. If you're having trouble deciding on a recipe definately try this one first! It is a very moist, creamy cake. The only thing I changed was the frosting because I wanted something simple. I used the frosting from the Strawberry Cream Cake recipe. It is very light and not too sweet. Perfect for this cake.

I made this cake for a little girl's birthday party. The cake part is EXCELLENT; I used a white cake mix and used egg whites instead of the extra egg. Nice, dense, moist, rich cake; I'd definitely make it again. I layered it with the frosting and a homemade strawberry-almond filling. The frosting was pretty good. I found that if I stored the cake in the fridge, the frosting got very grainy. If the frosting was room-temp, it was perfectly smooth and creamy. So as long as you don't chill the frosting, this is a wonderfully delicious cake.

I'm not even much of a fan of fruit in my cake, but I made this for a bridal shower, and it was absolutely delicious. The texture and flavor make it hard to believe that it isn't from a bakery. I had a little problem getting the layers out of the pan cleanly, so next time I will definitely use parchment paper or wax paper. I also chilled the frosting overnight before putting it on the cake and had no problem with it not being thick enough. It was just a fantastic combination of white chocolate and strawberries!

This cake is fantastic, have made it 5 times. It's one of the few never-fail recipes! Didnt' have store-bought cake mix, so I used the Cake Mix from Scratch recipe from this site. Strawberry taste isn't strong enough for my liking, rectified somewhat using extra 1 tbs strawberry extract. Tastes MUCH better when cold, like a light cheesecake. Potential candidate for the small cake business I'm setting up! Also, bake in the lower HALF, not the lower THIRD, of the oven, to prevent the top cracking.

Made this cake today for my daughters birthday. Wow!!! I did it in a bundt pan (baked for 55 min)split it in half, put some of the frosting and sliced strawberries in the middle then frosted. I covered some strawberries in milk chocolate and drizzled the rest over the white frosting --- very impressive. This is sure a keeper!

Very tasty. I would, however, not try to stack the layers (the icing is very slipperty). Next time I make this, I will put in a dish with sides so I can spoon it out rather than trying to layer and cut it. I might add a few more strawberry's, too.

Everyone loved this cake! One tip for the frosting, though...it didn't get thick enough to use even after cooling, so I beat it with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes. The heavy cream helped it get firm, but still light and creamy, after mixing.

I made this cake for my husband for his birthday and it was GREAT! Doesn't taste AT ALL like it came from a cake mix. I used Splenda sweetened strawberries and they worked great. Also used 1/3 less fat in the cake and I don't think the cake suffered at all. I baked in a 13x9" pan - which I'm glad because the cake is so moist and the icing was abit thin. I poked holes the cake before frosting so teh icing could run down in it. HMmmm. Will keep this one for more summer strawberries!
