Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F. Generously grease a 13x18 "half sheet pan" or line with parchment paper).
  • In a large bowlwhisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and strawberry jam until combined. Add the Cup4Cup cake mix and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into the sheet pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the frosting. Add the cream cheese, butter, and jam to a large bowl. Beat on high using an electric hand mixer until creamy and combined. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and beat to combine.
  • Once the cake is baked, cool completely, then frost. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the top, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • We chose Cup4Cup yellow cake mix for this recipe. It's the BEST gluten-free cake mix we've come across. If you can't find it (or just want to use a different brand), though, you absolutely can. Just be sure to adjust the milk, oil, and egg ingredient amounts to match what your cake mix calls for.
  • If you're using a 9x13 cake pan, bake for 45 minutes.
