Ingredients

  • For the Cake:
  • 16 oz Fresh Strawberries washed and the tops trimmed off
  • 1 package White Cake Mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Package Strawberry Instant Jello 3 oz package
  • For the Frosting:
  • 1/4 cup Butter softened at room temperature
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry Puree

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9X13 baking pan with a non stick cooking spray.
  • Place the strawberries in a food processor or blender until they are pureed. You will need 1 cup of the puree for the cake and 2 Tbsp for the frosting, so measure the puree and if more is needed mix in water until you have the full amount needed for this recipe.
  • In a large bowl mix together the cake mix, eggs, jello mixture and vegetable oil with a hand held mixture or a stand up mixer until well combined. Then stir in 1 cup of the strawberry puree.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and cake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Place the cake on a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, beat together the butter, cream cheese and vanilla extract with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until the mixture is combined and smoothed. Then add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time mixing well before the addition of each cup. Then stir in 2 Tbsp of the strawberry puree by hand. Note: Add more powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin.
  • Spread the frosting over the cake once it has cooled.

Notes

Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
