1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix
·
1 (3-ounce) box strawberry-flavored instant
gelatin
·
1 (15-ounce) package frozen strawberries in
syrup, thawed and pureed
·
4 large eggs

1/4 cup water
Ingredients for Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting:
·
1/4 cup butter, softened
·
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
·
1 (10-ounce) package frozen strawberries in
syrup, thawed and pureed
·
1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
·
7 cups confectioners' sugar
·
Freshly sliced strawberries, for garnish,

Directions for the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 3 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix and gelatin. Add pureed strawberries, eggs, oil, and water; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Pour into prepared pans, and bake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
Directions for the frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in 1/4 cup of the strawberry puree and the strawberry extract. (The rest of the puree is leftover but can be used in smoothies or on ice cream for a delicious treat.)
- Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Spread frosting in between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries, if desired.
