Indulge in the joy of perfect summer flavors with this delightful Strawberry Cake, featuring a moist, tender slice packed with sweet strawberry goodness and topped with creamy frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix (18.25 ounces)
  • 1 box strawberry-flavored instant gelatin (3 ounces)
  • 1 package frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed (15 ounces)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
  • ½ teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 7 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • Freshly sliced strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix and strawberry-flavored gelatin until well incorporated.
  3. Add the pureed strawberries, eggs, vegetable oil, and water to the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth and well-blended.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. For the frosting, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until creamy. Gradually add in the strawberry puree and extract until well combined.
  7. Mix in the confectioners’ sugar until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  8. Once cooled, frost the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  9. Garnish with freshly sliced strawberries if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
