Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix and strawberry gelatin; add pureed strawberries, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in strawberry puree and optional strawberry extract, then gradually add confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
- Once the cake layers are completely cool, frost one layer and place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake, garnishing with sliced strawberries if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
This cake is best enjoyed fresh; however, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze unfrosted cake layers for up to 2 months; be sure to wrap them tightly. For a fun variation, try using fresh strawberries in place of frozen or experiment with different flavors by substituting the cake mix. Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
