How to Make Dreamy Strawberry Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix, 1 (3 oz) package strawberry gelatin, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup water.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup sliced strawberries and ½ cup strawberry syrup; beat for 1 minute.
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil; beat for 1 minute.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine or butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, alternating with the remaining 1 cup sliced strawberries and ½ cup strawberry syrup, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- If frosting is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, then top with the second layer and frost the entire cake.
