👉Instructions:

✅️1. Preheat the Oven:

◾️Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

◾️In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

◾️In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

✅️3. Assemble the Cake:

◾️Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

◾️Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the batter.

◾️Evenly distribute the diced strawberries over the sugar mixture.

◾️Pour the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.

✅️4. Bake the Cake:

◾️Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

✅️5. Prepare the Icing:

◾️While the cake is baking, make the icing by combining the powdered sugar, milk, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth and adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.

✅️6. Ice the Cake:

◾️Once the cake is done baking, let it cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan before drizzling the red strawberry cream icing on top. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
