Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup Butter Adds richness and moisture; margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil Contributes to tenderness and moisture without any need for substitution.
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar Sweetens while creating a fluffy texture; coconut sugar can serve as a lower glycemic substitute.
  • 4 large Eggs Binds the ingredients and enriches the cake; use flax eggs for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 pkg Instant Strawberry Pudding Mix Elevates the flavor and moistness; vanilla pudding can be swapped with strawberry extract for a twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Strawberry Extract Essential for that nostalgic flavor; almond extract can be used for a unique profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds a depth of flavor; stick with vanilla for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk Provides needed moisture; non-dairy milk can be substituted for a vegan option.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour The main structure component; consider gluten-free flour for dietary needs.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Important for leavening; check self-rising flour for additional baking powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor but can be omitted if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon Food Coloring (pink or red) Optional for decoration but recommended for visual delight.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Provides sweetness for the glaze.
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Milk Infuses the glaze with strawberry flavor; regular milk can be substituted for a simpler version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the glaze flavor, tying back to the cake's overall taste.
