Strawberry Shortcake


1 package white cake mix
1 1/2 quarts fresh strawberries
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 whipping cream
1/4 c confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. Prepare cake according to package directions. Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans. Pour batter into pans. Bake cakes according to package directions, until toothpick comes out clean.
Reserve 8-10 strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining strawberries, place in medium bowl. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Mash slightly with potato masher. Chill until ready to assemble cake.
Beat whipping cream in a medium bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add confectioners sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until just mixed.
Place 1 cake layer on serving plate, cover with mashed strawberries. Top with about 1 1/2 cups whipped cream. Place second cake layer on top. Spread with remaining whipped cream. Garnish with reserved strawberries.
Instead of white cake mix I used half a devils food cake mix. I lined a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers. I cut cupcakes in half and layered accordingly.
