This retro strawberry cake is flavored with strawberry Jello and frozen strawberries. It's sooo good! The strawberry buttercream is the perfect match for this cake, but would also be good on chocolate fudge cake!
Classic Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Buttercream
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKE:
1 white cake mix
3 Tablespoons flour
3 eggs
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (3 ounce) package Strawberry Jell-o
1/2 cup frozen strawberries, thawed, drained
FROSTING:
1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup frozen strawberries, thawed, drained
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans or one 9" x 13" pan.
Combine cake mix, flour, oil, water, eggs and Jell-o in your mixer. I mixed for 2 minutes. Gently fold in frozen strawberries.
Pour into prepared cake pans and bake for approximately 25 minutes (note if you're baking in a 9x13 pyrex, it will be closer to 35 minutes). Use the "toothpick test" to make sure cake is done in the middle.
Turn out on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Pre-Pare the Frosting: Combine frosting ingredients until frosting is desired consistency. Add more sugar to thicken, more strawberries to thin. Frost in between layers, and the outside as you would any cake.
Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. Don't do this step too far in advance, as they will become syrupy.
