Ingredients

• Cake
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 cup milk
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 eggs
• Strawberry Poke Mixture
• 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Cream Cheese Glaze
• 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• Garnish
• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

Instructions:

1.Heat oven to 325°F. Generously spray 10- or 12-cup bundt cake pan with cooking spray with flour.

2. In a large bowl, beat the cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Increase the speed to medium; beat 2 minutes, and pour the batter into bundt pan.

3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, puree Strawberry Poke Cake Mixture ingredients until smooth; transfer to a 4-cup glass measuring cup, and set aside. While still in the pan, poke holes in cake with the end of a wooden spoon at 1/2-inch intervals going almost to bottom. Use a wet paper towel to wipe the ends of a spoon after each poke. Carefully pour poke mixture over holes in cake, using a spoon to direct mixture into holes. If necessary, poke existing holes to make room for more mixture.

5. Cool 40 minutes; refrigerate in pan 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator, and run metal spatula around outer and inside edges of the pan to loosen cake; turn upside down onto a serving platter.

6. In a medium bowl, mix Cream Cheese Glaze ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. If too thick, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. Glaze cake as desired; garnish with strawberries.

Notes

• Slice and refrigerate strawberries ahead of time, and your cake will be ready to garnish when it’s time to serve your guests.
• Keep cake refrigerated until ready to serve.
