Dianne's Strawberry Cake ingredients

Makes 1 Bundt cake
About 12 to 16 slices

Cake

1 (18.25-oz) box Duncan Hines white cake mix (or Pillsbury Plus)
1 (3-oz) box Strawberry Jell-O
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 cup mashed strawberries (start with 1-2 boxes of frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed)
Strawberry Frosting (below)

Frosting
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 of one (3-oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 Tbsp butter, softened
1/3 cup mashed strawberries (from 10-oz pkg frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed)

Optional garnish
A few whole fresh strawberries

Freshly sliced strawberries


Notes:  Use the extra strawberries from the cake in the frosting, or another time on ice cream. There is enough frosting for one bundt cake or one 8-inch two layer cake.

Directions

Preheat oven to 300ºF.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and beat at medium speed for about 4 minutes, or until smooth.

Pour into well greased and floured Bundt pan or two round cake pans.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

For frosting, mix well all frosting ingredients. Drip over cooled cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
