Mamaw Emily's Strawberry Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 pkg. white cake mix (regular size)
1 pkg. (3 oz.) strawberry gelatin
3 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 c. water
1/2 c. canola oil
2 large eggs 
1 c. finely chopped strawberries
FROSTING:
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. crushed strawberries
4 1/2-5 c. confectioners' sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line the bottoms of two greased 8 inch round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, gelatin, sugar and flour.  Add water, oil and eggs; beat on low speed 30 seconds.  Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Fold in strawberries.  Transfer to prepared pans.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper.  Cool completely.

For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter until creamy.  Beat in crushed strawberries.  Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency.  Spread frosting between layers and over the top and sides of the cake.
