Ingredients

1 - package Strawberry Cake mix
1 1/3 cups Strawberry Soda
(strawberry soda is substituted for the amount of water on the cake mix)
2 - 3 Eggs (if you want it lighter and fluffier use three eggs)
1/3 cup organic apple sauce
1 2 lbs Fresh Strawberries (Sliced)

Directions

Add cake mix to a large mixing bowl. Add egg, applesauce and strawberry soda. Beat until smooth. Pour into two round cake pans or cupcake trays. Bake as directed on cake mix or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. When cake is done remove from oven and cool in pans for 15 minutes. Then remove to a wire rack and completely cool. Frost first layer with icing and arrange sliced strawberries on top. Add the second cake layer and frost top and sides with more icing and top with more sliced strawberries. Save one whole strawberry for the middle of the cake. Gently slice and fan the whole strawberry, Place on top in the middle of the cake.

Measurements vary depending on what brand of cake mix you use. Follow the directions on the back of the box substituting strawberry soda for the amount of water listed. Also add the amount of eggs and oil stated on the mix, I use Duncan Hines.

***For my icing, I made a typical cream cheese kind. Cream Cheese, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla!
