Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake

This strawberry sheet cake is bursting with strawberry flavor. The cake is absolutely moist and delicious with creamy frosting that tastes like a strawberry milkshake.
If you make one cake this season, please let it be this strawberry sheet pan cake. It bakes up in one layer, gets frosted in the pan, and is easy to transport and serve.
The flavor kind of blew my mind in this a strawberry sheet cake with fresh strawberries. Skip the cake mix and pack it full of strawberries in two ways.
First, we blend real strawberries, cook them down to intensify the flavor, then added to the cake batter. Secondly, we use ground freeze dried strawberries to replace a portion of the icing sugar in the frosting to add a big punch of strawberry flavor.
