Flashback Friday! I’m replaying one of my favorite recipes…it’s super easy and tastes delicious!
It’s about that time of year Peeps!!! Strawberries abound! Naturally, I took a perfectly healthy berry and sugared it up a little. Time for Strawberry Cake!
The recipe is super easy, using a white cake mix as the base~
The icing is easy too! Just butter, confectioners sugar and mashed strawberries!
The mashed strawberries and jello in the mix make for a super moist cake.
This might be a great dessert for Easter!
STRAWBERRY CAKE
Preheat oven to 350*
1 package white cake mix 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin powder
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup mashed strawberries
Combine cake mix and gelatin powder in large bowl. Beat in oil, eggs, water, and strawberries. Beat on HI for 30 seconds~then on MED. for 2 minutes. Pour into 2 9 inch round greased and floured cake pans. (Pat bottom of pans gently on counter-tops to even the batter in the pans!)
Bake 350* oven for app. 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
*******I use 3- 9 inch cake pans therefore adjust baking time…start checking with toothpick at about 20 minutes!*********
Cool and frost with strawberry icing…
STRAWBERRY ICING
1/2 cup butter
1 pound confectioners sugar
1/4 cup mashed strawberries
***** I make 1 and 1/2 recipes of icing~ I like to have LOTS of icing!!!)*****
Beat butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth. Add strawberries. Spread between cake layers, then frost top and sides! Decorate with extra (washed & dried) strawberries!

Thanks a bunch Robin. I just gained pounds and 20 points on my cholesterol just by reading. Now I have an excuse to ride today. Hugs to you.
Oh WOW Robin that looks amazing!!……I was just thinking yesterday I was in the mood for a cake (not cupcakes)……..may have to give this a try!!

Wow! Adding this to my list of Spring recipes to try – thanks! Looks magazine-worthy (:
Thanks for this recipe!! I made this cake for my daughter’s 3rd Birthday, but just the cake part. I wanted to make the icing too, but I needed regular buttercream icing, so that I could dye it different colors ( it was a butterfly cake). Still, everyone thought it was the best cake! My little boy’s cake was chocolate with cream cheese icing, but the strawberry definitely won out on taste!

Jello and fresh strawberries baked right in the cake?! Yummo! This would be the perfect dessert for Easter!
I’m going to try this with one “tweak”…substitute cream cheese for the butter in the frosting! YUMMM!
