Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix (such as Pillsbury) 3 ounces white cake mix extender 1 ¼ cups water 4 large egg whites ⅓ cup vegetable oil 1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries, pureed 1 (10 ounce) jar strawberry preserves 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. Blend together cake mix plus extender, water, egg whites, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until just moistened. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 26 to 32 minutes. Meanwhile, combine pureed strawberries and strawberry preserves in a medium bowl. Stir in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until incorporated. Refrigerate sauce until ready to use. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, at least 25 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into cake about 1 inch apart. Slowly spread sauce over cake, letting it fill the holes. Refrigerate until completely chilled. Recipe Tip You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. Editor's Note: The directions for making the cake are based on the particular brand mentioned. Follow instructions on the box if using a different brand. Some cake mixes are 16.25 ounces, and some are 15.25, so add the appropriate amount of extender as needed to reach 18.25 ounces.
