Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and Cajun seasoning. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly. Set aside to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix well until smooth and no lumps remain.
-
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Spoon the macerated strawberries over the cake batter, distributing them evenly across the pan.
-
Carefully pour the remaining cake batter over the strawberries, making sure to cover them completely.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
-
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the slightly warm cake, allowing it to melt and create a luscious glaze.
-
Serve the Cajun Strawberry Pop Cake warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and garnished with fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of flavor and color.
