Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (18.25 ounces) white cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 box (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored instant gelatin
  • 1 package (15 ounces) frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 7 cups confectioners' sugar for the frosting
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened for the frosting
  • 0.5 cup softened butter for the frosting
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed for the frosting
  • 0.5 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional) for a stronger strawberry flavor

Equipment

  • Two 9-inch round cake pans
  • Mixing bowls (large and medium)
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Spatula for frosting
  • Blender or food processor for pureeing strawberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix and strawberry gelatin; add pureed strawberries, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
