Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup water
1 cup strawberry preserves or puree
1/2 cup sour cream
For the Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons strawberry puree
2-3 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. Lightly dust with flour.
2. Mix the Cake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, ground cinnamon, eggs, vegetable oil, water, strawberry preserves, and sour cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
3. Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes (bundt pan) or 30-35 minutes (9×13-inch pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Prepare the Glaze
- While the cake cools slightly, mix powdered sugar, strawberry puree, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and pourable. Add more milk if needed for a thinner consistency.
5. Glaze the Cake
- Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a serving plate (if using a bundt pan). Drizzle the strawberry glaze generously over the cake, letting it run down the sides.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired for extra flair.
