Add the whole bag of strawberry cake mix to a large bowl.

Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the bowl and mix together.

Slowly add 1 cup of whole milk and stir until incorporated.

Add 1 cup of full-fat sour cream and stir until incorporated.

Mix in 1/2 cup of strawberry pie filling.

Add 3 whole eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed well.

Add 1 tablespoon of Wilton clear vanilla (if using) and mix until combined.

Prepare the cake pan by greasing it with homemade pan grease using a pastry brush.

Place a flower nail in the center of the pan for even baking.

Fill the pan about 1/2 to 2/3 full with the batter.

Preheat the oven to 335°F.

Bake the cake for about 45 to 50 minutes and cupcakes for 17 minutes.

Let the cupcakes cool for 2 minutes before transferring them to the freezer to maintain their shape.

Wrap the cake in plastic wrap while still warm and place it in the freezer to retain moisture.
