Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (18 1/2 ounce) box white cake mix
- 1 (3 ounce) box strawberry gelatin
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup cold water
- 4 large eggs
- 5 ounces frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
- 3⁄4 cup canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
Frosting
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 lb icing sugar, sifted
- 5 ounces frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 fresh strawberries, hulls removed (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F; grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, gelatin, flour, water and eggs, and beat with mixer for 2 minutes.
- Add 5oz. of the strawberries with syrup to batter and beat 1 minute more; then add oil and beat for an additional minute.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pans and place on a rack to thoroughly cool.
- When cake has cooled, frost with Strawberry Frosting, making a 2-layer layer-cake, putting frosting between both layers, on sides and on top.
- Garnish top with fresh strawberries, if desired.
- To make frosting, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl, with electric mixer, until smooth.
- Beat in icing sugar, alternating with 5oz. of strawberries and syrup, until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and, if necessary, thin with a little milk or cream to spreading consistency.
