In high school, we would all head to the lunchroom at the sound of the midday bell. About twice a year we’d find a sign, just inside the door that read, “Surprise Cake Today” and for fifty cents we enjoyed a slice of this cold, moist and creamy strawberry cake. Local farmers tell me the strawberries have come early this year, so there’s no time like the present to make this delicious cake that may bring back a few memories!
Surprise Cake
Ingredients 1 package white cake mix (regular size) 1-1/4 cups water 2 eggs 1/4 cup canola oil 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed 2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin 1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided Fresh strawberries, optional Directions In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, eggs and oil; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, level top of each cake if necessary. Return layers, top side up, to two clean 9-in. round baking pans. Pierce cakes with a meat fork or wooden skewer at 1/2-in. intervals. Drain juice from strawberries into a 2-cup measuring cup; refrigerate berries. Add water to juice to measure 2 cups; pour into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Chill for 30 minutes. Gently spoon over each cake layer. Chill for 2-3 hours. Dip bottom of one pan in warm water for 10 seconds. Invert cake onto a serving platter. Top with reserved strawberries and 1 cup whipped topping. Place second cake layer over topping. Frost cake with remaining whipped topping. Chill for at least 1 hour. Serve with fresh berries if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
