Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15.25 oz white cake mix: This serves as the foundation of the cake, providing a soft and fluffy texture.
  • 1 3 oz package strawberry Jell-O: Adds a burst of strawberry flavor and a beautiful pink color.
  • 4 large eggs: These contribute to the cake’s structure and moisture.
  • 1 cup vegetable oil: Keeps the cake moist and tender.
  • 1/4 cup water: Helps combine the dry ingredients into a batter.
  • 1 10 oz package frozen strawberries, thawed: These bring natural sweetness and a rich strawberry flavor to the cake.
For the frosting, you will need:
  • 1 1 lb powdered sugar: This forms the base of the frosting, adding sweetness.
  • 1/3 cup softened butter: Provides creaminess and helps achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Remaining strawberries from the cake thawed: Adds final flavor and texture to the frosting.

Method
 

  1. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1 (3 oz) package strawberry Jell-O, and 4 large eggs. Next, add 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water, and half of the 1 (10 oz) package frozen strawberries, thawed. Mix together using a hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Your batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
  2. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pour the batter into a greased 12x9 inch baking pan. Make sure to spread the batter evenly across the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  3. Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (1 lb) powdered sugar and 1/3 cup softened butter using a hand mixer on low until it’s crumbly. Gradually add the remaining thawed strawberries and continue mixing until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  4. Frost the Cake: Once your cake is completely cooled, use a spatula to spread the strawberry frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Be generous, allowing the frosting to puddle in any small dips for added decadence.
  5. Slice and Serve: Cut the cake into 12 even slices and serve, enjoying the delightful mix of textures and flavors!
