Preparation
- Slice the cake into 10–12 slices. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
- Add the canola oil in a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, water, and vanilla. Stir until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain.
- Working with 1 or 2 slices at a time, dredge the cake slices in the flour, then coat in the batter. Carefully lower the battered cake into the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and let cool slightly before serving.
- Top the fried cake slices with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries.
- Enjoy!
