Cake Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/3 cup water
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 oz strawberry jello (1 box)
Cream Filling Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
- 7.5 oz marshmallow fluff
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a bundt cake pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the cake.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and strawberry jello powder. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
- Prepare the Cream Filling: Once the cake is completely cooled, begin making the cream filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add in the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- Add Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy whipping cream one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue until the cream filling reaches a smooth, creamy consistency suitable for piping.
- Turn Cake Upside Down: Carefully flip the bundt cake so that the bottom side is facing up to create the filling holes.
- Create Holes for Filling: Using a small spoon, cookie scoop, or melon baller, scoop out 8 to 10 small holes evenly spaced around the bottom of the cake. Use the end of a wooden spoon to deepen the holes and make space for the cream filling.
- Fill the Holes: Transfer the cream filling to a piping bag and pipe the filling into each hole until they are generously filled.
- Flip and Serve: Place a cake plate on top of the bundt cake and carefully flip it back over to its original position. Dust the cake lightly with powdered sugar, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before filling to prevent the cream from melting.
- If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off.
- For an extra strawberry flavor boost, consider garnishing with fresh strawberries.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
