- 2 6 or 8 inch round white cakes (from box or from scratch) made and cooled
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 oz whipped topping thawed
- 1 lb strawberries sliced
- strawberry syrup optional
Slice each round cake in half to create 4 layers. Set the cake layers aside.
In a medium sized bowl, use and electric hand mixer to combine the butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth.
Once smooth, add the 8 oz of whipped topping to the bowl and mix on high until completely combined.
To assemble the cake, place the bottom layer on the serving plate. Gently spread 1/4 cup of the creamy frosting onto the layer. Top with sliced strawberries.
Repeat steps with the 2nd and 3rd layer of cake.
Place the final layer on top of the strawberries. Generously frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Arrange the remaining strawberry slices on top of the cake right before serving. Also right before serving you can drizzle with strawberry syrup, if desired.
