Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 package (18.25 ounces) white cake mix
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
- 1/4 cup mashed strawberries
- 1/4 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3–4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix and strawberry gelatin. Add the flour, sugar, and eggs, mixing until well combined. Blend in the finely chopped fresh strawberries, vegetable oil, and milk.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mashed strawberries, and strawberry extract (if using), continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer flat-side up on a serving plate, spread frosting over the top, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
