Easy Strawberry Cake Recipe

So we all know that yellow cake is delicious. In fact, so is chocolate cake, white cake, red velvet cake, or any other cake, but what about strawberry cake?

Growing up, I used to eat strawberries by the handful. My mom could hardly even wash them off as fast as I would gobble them down.

She and I were both excited, when we stumbled across a recipe for easy strawberry cake.

I’ve always liked this recipe because I think that a strawberry cake should always have real strawberries in or on it. Obviously, this strawberry cake recipe does just that and for this reason and many others… it is delicious.

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
• 1 pkg. strawberry gelatin
• 3 tbsp. flour
• 1 cup nuts, chopped
• 1 box strawberry cake mix
• 4 eggs

Topping:

• 1/2 cup strawberries
• 1 box confectioners sugar
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 stick butter, softened

Directions:

For Cake:

1) Mix gelatin with flour and cake mix. Add water, oil, and strawberries. Add the eggs, mixing well after each egg.

2) Transfer batter to a greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan.

3) Bake at 325F for about 35 minutes.

For Topping:

1) Mix sugar and softened butter well. Add strawberries and pecans and blend until smooth enough for spreading.

Delicious! Many other strawberry cake recipes stick solely to the gelatin. For me, the gelatin is good, but nothing is as good as having your cake and it’s topped with real, rich strawberries. I small scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and I’m a happy girl! One slice of this strawberry cake and you sure would be happy too.
