CAKE
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 small box strawberry gelatin
- 1 cup (240 ml) oil
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup (150 g) mashed sweetened strawberries (not drained)

How To Make Homemade Strawberry Cake
- Prepare the Cake: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients. Pour the batter into a 9×11 inch (23×28 cm) pan. If you prefer, you can use two smaller pans for a layered cake. Be sure not to fill the pan to the top, as the batter will rise while baking.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the Frosting: In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and mashed strawberries. Ensure that the strawberries are well-drained before adding them to prevent excess liquid. If the frosting is too thick, gradually add more strawberries until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top. If you made a layered cake, spread frosting between the layers as well.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve your homemade strawberry cake. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the frosting fresh.
This homemade strawberry cake is a beautifully simple dessert that delivers big on flavor. The natural sweetness of the strawberries combined with the soft, fluffy texture makes it an irresistible treat for any occasion. Whether you make it for a celebration or just to enjoy with family, this cake will bring smiles all around. Give it a try and taste the freshness in every bite!
