One box vanilla, white or yellow cake mix
1 (3 oz) box strawberry gelatin (Jello)
4 eggs
1 cup of vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 pint of fresh strawberries (either diced up or crushed)
Icing
1/2 block of cream cheese (4 oz)
1/3 cup butter (softened)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan with baking spray.
In the meantime chop up and dice your strawberries. I used a potato masher to really crush up the strawberries. That worked pretty well.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix and jello powder. Mix this together well.
Stir in your eggs and oil and water.
Add your cup crushed strawberries. Mix this part by hand.
Pour the batter into your baking pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick in the center of the cake and make sure it comes out clean. Completely cook cake before frosting.
To Frost:
With an electric mixer, mix together softened cream cheese and butter. Make sure it is smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla. Add powdered sugar slowly and add milk as needed. This should also be smooth and creamy. If you have any leftover strawberries you might want to add them to the frosting. It certainly can’t hurt!
Frost cake and enjoy. Such a pretty cake!
