1 (16-ounce) box confectioners’ sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup frozen strawberries, thawed
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Pans
Line two 9-inch cake pans (or three 8-inch pans) with wax paper.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a perfect bake.
Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix and strawberry Jell-O powder.
Gradually stir in the vegetable oil and beaten eggs until well combined.
Fold in the thawed strawberries along with their juice, mixing until the batter is uniformly pink.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 4: Prepare the Frosting
In a medium bowl, beat together the confectioners’ sugar, softened butter, and half a cup of thawed strawberries.
Continue beating until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and vibrant in color.
Step 5: Assemble the Cake
Remove the cooled cakes from the pans and peel off the wax paper.
Spread a generous layer of strawberry frosting between each layer and over the top and sides of the cake.
