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.
