Ingredients

• 500 g Fresh strawberries
• 1 box Vanilla cake mix
• 240 ml Milk
• 226 g Cream cheese
• 120 g Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 240 ml Whipping cream
• 10 g Gelatin powder
• 60 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the vanilla cake mix box. Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box, using milk instead of water for a richer flavor.

Step 2

Pour the cake batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake according to the package instructions, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 3

While the cake is cooling, hull and slice the fresh strawberries. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 60 ml of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then heat until fully dissolved (you can do this in the microwave for about 10 seconds). Let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and dissolved gelatin, mixing until fully combined.

Step 6

In a separate cold bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.

Step 7

Once the cake is completely cool, spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the cake layer.

Step 8

Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over the cream mixture, then carefully spread the remaining cream mixture over the strawberries.

Step 9

Top with a decorative layer of sliced strawberries, covering the entire surface evenly.

Step 10

Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Slice and serve chilled.
