At first I'd planned on skipping the topping, but I'm so glad I didn't! The fresh strawberry is one of the best parts. Since I used frozen berries in the cake, I used the rest of the bag for the topping. To finish things off, you can make a very quick and easy strawberry topping. Speaking of which, I think this frosting would work perfectly with sugar-free ingredients. So far I've only seen Jell-O's white chocolate as a sugar-free version. The most widely available brands around here are Hershey's and Godiva. I like the cheesecake flavor and would use it again, but I'm also very curious to see how white chocolate flavored pudding mix would work. It kind of reminds me of the old grocery store bakery cake frostings. The frosting is a billowy whipped cream with an interesting flavor from the cream cheese flavored pudding mix. So this cake is a strawberry sheet cake with a thick layer of fluffy pudding frosting. Pink strawberry cakes are usually served with a strawberry frosting, but I wanted to try an old recipe for frosting made with instant pudding mix.

Jump to Recipe Texas style strawberry cake with a pudding frosting. So this recipe is designed for the new 15.25 oz of yellow cake mix. If you have any interest at all in pink strawberry cakes you've probably seen that combination of ingredients in old cookbooks, but since cake mix box sizes have changed, so have the ingredient ratios. Specifically, a combination of cake mix, gelatin and fresh berries. But after trying more than a few different recipes, I realized the cakes I craved and most similar to the ones from childhood in Texas were all made from a mix. For years I chased the perfect strawberry cake thinking it needed to be from scratch.
