  • 1 (21 ounce) can LUCKY LEAF® Premium Strawberry Fruit Filling
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Dreamy Buttercream Icing:
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, or more as needed
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, oil, water and eggs until smooth. Add a little LUCKY LEAF Strawberry Pie Filling at a time, gently stirring to create swirls.
