Strawberry Cake Made With White Cake Mix and Frozen Strawberries!

Strawberry Cake 

Ingredients:

1 Box of White Cake Mix

1 Package of Strawberry Jello Mix

1/2 Cup of Frozen Strawberries

1/2 Cup of Water

1 Cup of Oil

4 Eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven at 325 degrees.

Defrost frozen strawberries.

Puree the frozen strawberries.

Mix jello and cake mix together in a large mixing bowl.

Add water and oil. Mix on medium speed.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.

Add pureed strawberries.

Spray two round baking pans with non-stick spray.

Pour the cake batter into the two pans. Try to make sure the amount is as even as possible.

Bake at 325 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes.

After baking let them cool and then remove them from pans.

Place one of the cakes onto your serving dish.

Frost just the top part of the cake. This will be the middle of the cake so you can put as much frosting as you would like. I just do enjoy to hold the two cakes together.

Place the second cake on top of the other cake upside down so the bottom is on top. This makes the top of the cake nice and smooth.

Frost the outside of the cake. I like to do a "messy" look on my cake because it takes less time them trying to get it all smooth and it looks just a yummy!

To make this look at a generous amount of frosting on the outside.

Then take a spoon and make the swoops. Make sure not to go all the way down so that them cake is showing.

Enjoy!
