Strawberry Cake
Just tried this cake yesterday, and there in none left today…It was so yummy I am going to make another one this week for my weekend get together.
1 (18.5 oz) box white cake mix
1 3oz. box of strawberry Jell-O
10 oz. package frozen strawberries thawed and pureed
4 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup water
Strawberry cream frosting – recipe below
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9” cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Jell-O. Add the strawberries, eggs, oil and water; mix on medium speed until smooth. Pour into cake pans and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pans for about 10 minutes then remove from pans and cool on wire racks until completely cooled.
Strawberry Cream Frosting
½ cup softened butter
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese at room temperature
1/3 cup of frozen strawberries, pureed
½ tsp. strawberry extract
7 cups of confectioners’ sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in strawberry puree and strawberry extract. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar beating until smooth.
Frost cake with a thick layer of frosting between cake halves and put remaining frosting on top. Be sure cake is completely cooled before frosting. Do not over beat frosting.
