  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry flavored gelatin For an extra burst of berry flavor

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed strawberries Juicy and aromatic; adds natural sweetness
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil To ensure the cake rises beautifully
  • 4 large eggs To bind everything together
  • 1/2 cup water Helps achieve perfect batter consistency

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend together the box of white cake mix and the strawberry flavored gelatin.
  • Add the mashed strawberries, vegetable oil, eggs, and water to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Baking

  • Place the pans into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  • Dress the cooled cakes with a light frosting and garnish with fresh strawberry slices.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter for best results. Use fresh strawberries and check oven temperature for accurate baking.
