Strawberry Boston Cream Cake
When spring arrives and you’re looking for a seasonal dessert, this strawberry Boston Cream cake fits the bill.
The pretty spring colors – yellow, pink and white are accented by a bit of red filling. You’ll want to consider baking this easy cake for Easter dinner or Mother’s Day brunch.
This recipe is super easy! If you can follow instructions on a box, you can make this! I love recipes that take advantage of the #ConvenienceCooking ingredients available at the grocery these days.
I mean, there’s nothing like made from scratch, but who has time for that? Most days I’m super busy and I’m sure you are too.
I found a strawberry cake mix on sale last week. I loved the pretty pink color of this cake and the sale price sealed the deal! I know cake mixes generally don’t cost very much, but every few pennies help manage the budget.
If you use cake mixes frequently, then by all means, stock up when they’re on sale. Stretch those savings over a few months that way.
I normally don’t make cakes, but my husband’s favorite dessert of all time is Boston Cream Pie. I decided to make a Strawberry Boston Cream Cake. Add some pudding and fruit filling, we were all set.
Fresh strawberries are coming into season, also. I added some of them on the side of each serving and folks were loving this cake!
My neighbor recently had surgery and has been recovering, but struggling with an appetite. I took half of this cake over to see if that would tempt. We got a text message 10 minutes later about how great this cake was!
I’d say it worked. His appetite was stimulated enough to cut a slice of cake right away.
Look at those yummy red strawberries! My grandma’s favorite dessert was strawberry pie and she would look forward to strawberry season every year.
Make It a Meal:
Cake is dessert, there’s no way around that. Serve up a buffet of desserts: Lemon black raspberry cake, peppermint cheesecake, peach coffee cake, fresh fruit cheesecake, and chocolate mocha cake. Don’t forget to have the coffee made!
