STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans. 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. 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.
