Strawberry Cake

We all have things that bring back our childhood. For me one of those things is this cake recipe. I first had it in 1964, and have been asking for it on my birthday every year since. Hopefully this retro 60's cake will soon be a favorite of yours as well.

1 Box White Cake Mix
1 Small Package Strawberry Jello
1/2 Cup Water
3/4 Cup Oil
4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Frozen Strawberries, thawed

Heat oven to 350' F. Grease and lightly flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, jello, water and oil. Beat until moist. Add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Stir in thawed strawberries. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, remove from pan. Cool completely before frosting.

Strawberry Cake Frosting

1 Stick Butter, softened
1 Box Powdered Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup Frozen Strawberries, thawed

Beat well and spread on cooled cake.

  2. I wouldn't put these treasures up for public consumption (get it, consumption) without a hefty fee, but other than that this site is great. I'll be making several failed attempts at making all recipes a fraction as well as you do. - Eric
