• 1 3 oz box strawberry gelatin mix (Jell-O)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 pint fresh strawberries (or 1 cup crushed fresh strawberries)
For the frosting:
• 1/2 block cream cheese (4 oz) softened

Instructions :

For the cake:
• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Spray 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Give the strawberries a good rinse then gently dry them with a paper towel. Remove the stems and dice.
• Put strawberries into a plastic Ziploc bag and start crushing them up using a rolling pin or other heavy object. This will probably take you a minute or two.
• In the bowl, combine cake mix with strawberry gelatin powder. Mix until combined.
• Then stir in oil, eggs and water.
• Once that is combined, add in 1 cup of the smushed strawberries. You will want to gently stir those in by hand.
• Then pour batter into prepared baking dish.
• Bake for about 30-33 minutes.
• Oven times do vary so to make sure it is done, stick a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean, it is good to go.
• Allow cake to cool completely before adding frosting.
For the frosting:
• Using an electric mixer, mix together the softened butter and softened cream cheese.
• Mix until smooth and creamy and lump-free.
• Then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
• Slather frosting onto cooled cake. Slice and serve.
