There are so many wonderful recipes using strawberries but I guess this is my favorite – just can’t improve on old-fashioned perfection in a sheet pan!
Ingredients:
- 1 box cake mix, white
- 1 (6-ounce) package strawberry Jello
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) mashed and mix with sugar for fresh berries (drain and save the juice)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup oil
- 4 eggs, large
Strawberry Icing
- 1-1/2 – 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1-1/2 – 2 boxes powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) mashed and mix with sugar for fresh berries
- (save juice to add for consistency and color as needed)
Directions:
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together everything but the eggs.
Add eggs one at a time and continue mixing for two minutes.
Pour into two greased floured round cake pans.
Bake 25 – 30 minutes.
While cakes cool, punch holes in cake and drizzle with berry juice. Let cool completely.
Icing:
Cream butter with sugar, add berries and add juice to achieve spreading consistency.
Spread on cooled cake.
