- For the Cake:
1 box strawberry cake mix Plus baking ingredients
1 box vanilla cake mix Plus baking ingredients
- For the Frosting:
6 cups powdered sugar (divided)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups softened butter
6 tablespoons heavy cream (divided)
- For the Strawberry Crunch:
1/2 box crumbled Nilla wafers
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup strawberries (frozen)
Garnish with fresh strawberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 ℉
- Spray 4 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Follow the package directions for making the vanilla and strawberry cake batters.
- Pour the mixes into the cake pans evenly to make two vanilla and two strawberry cakes.
- Bake the cakes as directed on the packaging.
- Allow them to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the icing while the cakes are cooling.
- Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter and 1/2 of the powdered sugar until smooth and lump-free in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the leftover powdered sugar, vanilla, and 4 tbsp heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
- Continue beating until the mixture is frothy and spreadable. If the frosting is too firm, add the remaining 2 tbsp of cream.
- Place dried strawberries and Nilla in a large Ziploc bag to make the strawberry crunch.
- Squeeze out any excess air before sealing. Using a rolling pin, crush the mixture. In the bag, add the melted butter and massage it to coat the crushed mixture.

- Place the first layer of strawberries on the cake plate and cover it with icing.
- Evenly spread frosting on top of the cake.
- Place the first vanilla cake layer on top and frost it. Using the remaining strawberries and vanilla cakes, repeat the process. Frost the cake’s tops and sides.
