Ingredients

1 box vanilla cake mix (plus required eggs, oil, water)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 quarts strawberry ice cream
1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
3 tbsp strawberry preserves
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cups heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9-inch springform pan with parchment, spray with cooking spray.
Prepare cake batter according to package directions, adding 1 tsp vanilla. Pour into pan (fill halfway only). Bake 22-27 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Soften ice cream 15 minutes. Mix diced strawberries with preserves and lemon juice. Fold into softened ice cream gently.
Line springform pan with plastic wrap (lots of overhang). Place cooled cake in bottom.
Spread strawberry ice cream mixture over cake evenly (2-2½ inches thick). Smooth top, tap pan to release air bubbles.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze minimum 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Before serving, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks. Release springform, remove cake using plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Notes

Bake cake layer a day ahead for best results
Don’t skip the plastic wrap liner—it’s essential for easy removal
Let cake sit 10-15 minutes at room temperature before slicing
Run knife under hot water between cuts for clean slices
Can be made up to 1 week ahead (add whipped cream day of serving)
