Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix
- 1 (3-ounce) box strawberry-flavored instant gelatin
- 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and gelatin. Add the mashed strawberries, oil, eggs, and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and place them on wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating on low speed until well combined.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake. Place the second cake on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
