My family requests this cake over all others. The longer it is in the fridge the more moist it becomes. The only problem is that it does not last long. Hope you will enjoy making this as much as I do, and that your family considers it one of their favorites too!!!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Oh my gosh, this is the mother of all strawberry cakes. It's cool, rich, refreshing and six layers of yummy flavors. We loved the mixture of cream cheese and whipped cream layers. They taste amazing and aren't overly rich. The cake itself is moist, but when the fresh strawberries are incorporated it makes the cake even better. This cake tastes like a delicious strawberry shortcake.
Tip: Cutting cakes can be difficult. Before slicing the cakes, place the cooled cakes in plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for about an hour. The harder the cake, the easier it is to slice.

How to Make Moist Strawberry Cake
- Mix cake mix, dry Jello mix, and flour. Mix in Wesson oil, Sprite, and slightly beaten eggs.
- Add strawberries last; blend well.
- Pour batter into 3 9" floured and greased cake pans...batter will be thick.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in pans for about 10 minutes.
- Then turn out onto cooling racks.
- When cake has cooled, slice each layer in half making a total of 6 halves.
- Start stacking your cake with the cream cheese icing between the first cake layer.
- Then add your whipped cream icing between the whole cake layer.
- You should have 1/2 cake layer ... cream cheese icing ... 1/2 layer ... whipped cream icing ... then 1/2 cake layer ... cream cheese icing ...1/2 cake layer ...whipped cream icing.
- In the end, you should have 6 layers with icing in between each 1/2 layer. Finish icing the outside of your cake with the whip cream icing.
- To make cream cheese icing, mix cream cheese and strawberries until well blended. Then start slowly adding powdered sugar.
- Beat until smooth and creamy.
- For whipped cream icing, beat whipping cream until it begins to barely thicken. Then start adding your sugar.
- Beat until thickened.
