This is an easy way to make a sheet cake using a cake mix but it still packs a flavor punch. It turns out so moist and tender and is just bursting with lovely strawberry flavor.
For the cake:
- 1 (15 oz.) box of white cake mix
- 1 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry gelatin (like Jell-O)
- 2 c. fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 c. milk
- 2 lg. eggs
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 T. all-purpose flour
- 2 T. sugar
For the frosting:
- 2 ½-3 ½ c. powdered sugar
- ½ c. butter, softened
- ½ c. strawberries
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ¼ tsp. salt
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take a half-sheet pan and line it with parchment paper. Using a stick of butter (not the butter listed above), grease the parchment paper and set the pan aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry cake mix, the dry gelatin mix, the flour and the sugar. Add in the milk, eggs and butter. Beat on low for 30 seconds and then beat on medium speed for 2 full minutes.
Fold in the strawberries and the spread the batter into the prepared sheet pan. Bake for about 14-16 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
As the cake cools, prepare the frosting. Place the strawberries into a blender or food processor and pulse until the strawberry mixture is smooth. You can have a few small chunks. Pour them into a mixing bowl and beat together with the butter and cream cheese. Add in the vanilla and salt and start adding in the powdered sugar a bit at a time. Mix in enough powdered sugar until it is to the frosting consistency and sweetness that you desire. Frost your cooled cake. Cut and serve. You can decorate the cake with some fresh strawberries or with some homemade whipped topping.
