Notes
Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
You can substitute the cake mix with a homemade vanilla cake batter if preferred.
For a lighter option, substitute butter with margarine or a light butter alternative.
Ensure the crockpot lid fits tightly to maintain moisture during cooking.
Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the cake’s soft texture.
