Instructions

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Blend on low speed until incorporated.
  • Fold in diced strawberries.
  • Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.
  • Allow a couple of inches of parchment paper to drop over the edges of the pan. Spray parchment with cooking spray and pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Smooth batter evenly.

Frosting Directions:

  • Using a spatula, fold half of cream mixture into cream cheese mixture; fold in remaining cream mixture.
