Number Of Ingredients 12

STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:
1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake mix
1 (3-ounce) package strawberry gelatin
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
1 (32-ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cake mix, strawberry gelatin, eggs, sugar, chopped fresh strawberries, milk, vegetable oil and all-purpose flour at low speed with an electric mixer for 1 minute. Scrape down sides, and beat at medium speed for 2 more minutes, stopping to scrape down sides, as needed. The strawberries should be well blended. Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 23 minutes, or until cakes spring back when pressed lightly with a finger. Let cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely. To make frosting, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 20 seconds). Add sugar and strawberries, beating at low speed until creamy. (Add more sugar if frosting is too thin, or add strawberries if too thick.) Spread the frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with whole and halved strawberries. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 1 week.

This came in my March issue of Southern Living. I immediately saw it and felt the need to post. My family loves anything Strawberry and this is amazingly easy and oh so delicious. I hope you all enjoy it too!! I doubled the amount of frosting as they did in the magazine.

Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients: Measure and gather all ingredients before starting. Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature, and strawberries are hulled and sliced.
  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries deliver the best flavor. If using frozen, thaw and drain before using.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Properly: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Fold Dry Ingredients: Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture to avoid overmixing and toughening the batter.
  • Bake Layers Evenly: Divide batter evenly among cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Make Frosting Ahead: Prepare the frosting in advance to chill and firm up before assembling the cake.
  • Chill Cake Layers: Chill the cake layers before assembling to make them easier to handle and prevent crumbling.
  • Spread Frosting Evenly: Spread frosting evenly between layers and on top of the cake to create a smooth, uniform finish.
  • Decorate as Desired: Garnish with additional strawberries, whipped cream, or sprinkles for a visually appealing presentation.
  • Chill Before Serving: Chill the assembled cake for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
