Strawberry Cake with Frosting

Strawberry Cake with Frosting

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 box (3 oz) strawberry flavored gelatin
• one-half cup water
• 3 T. flour
• 1 cup cooking oil
• 3 large eggs
• one-half cup strawberries, mashed

Frosting:

• 1 pound powdered sugar
• one-half cup (one stick) butter
• one-half cup mashed strawberries

Directions: Mix all cake ingredients together except the eggs. Then add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Continue to beat with mixer at least 4 minutes more. Pour batter into three well-greased 8” round cake pans or one 9” x 13” cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, longer for the 9” x 13” size (until toothpick in center comes out clean and not gooey). Cool cake before frosting.

For frosting, beat all ingredients with mixer until fluffy and smooth. Spread between layers, on top and sides of cake. This cake and frosting freeze well.
