Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) white cake mix
  • 1 box (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup mashed fresh strawberries
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries (optional for extra texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and strawberry gelatin. Add mashed strawberries, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the batter: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries if using. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  4. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Frost: Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Frost with cream cheese frosting, whipped topping, or strawberry buttercream.
  • For a sheet cake version, pour batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake for 30–35 minutes.
