total Time: 1 hr

frosting Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese 2.5 cups powdered sugar 1/4 cup salted butter 1 lemon zest 1/8 cup lemon juice 1 drop of red food coloring (optional)

Preheat the oven and set the cream cheese and butter out to come to room temperature. Bake your box cake as instructed on the box in an 8x8 pan.

Step 1

While the cake bakes, make the crunch topping. Add the cookies to a food processor and blend, then mix with melted butter and jello.

Step 2

When the cake is done, remove from oven and let cool. Then, make the butter frosting by adding all frosting ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix until well blended.

Step 3

Next, assemble your cake. Use a spoon or cookie cutter to cut our nine holes to fill with the lemon curd.

Step 4

Add lemon curd to each hole using a spoon or a frosting piping bag. Fill up to the top of the cake!

Step 5

Gently spread buttercream on top of the cake. Then, top with the strawberry crunch. Enjoy this delicious cake just how it is, or top it with more strawberries!
