The Go-To Strawberry Cake Your Friends Will Be Begging For

We have all had those moments when you realize you have an hour to make a dessert to bring to that apartment floor potluck or other food-focused event.

You do not want to be that person that brings a grocery store pie or those slice and bake cookies. So this strawberry cake is the next best thing. It only takes 35 minutes and is basically a jazzed-up boxed white cake mix.

This recipe is very user-friendly and can be changed based on your preference to strawberry chunks or silky smooth cake, cream cheese or buttercream icing, even one layer or two depending on how hungry you are feeling. So keep this recipe under your favorites tab and you will always have a great go-to party friendly dessert.
