Fresh Strawberry Cake With Cream Cheese Icing

■1 Package Plain White Cake Mix
■1 Cup Chopped strawberries, with juice
■3/4 Cup Milk
■1 Package Strawberry Gelatin (3 ounce)
■3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
■3 Eggs
Grease and flour two 8 inch round baking pans or one 9×13 inch pan. Gently mash strawberries by placing them in a large plastic bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin or large can. Place cake mix, milk, gelatin mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about two minutes or so. Add in strawberries and juice, mix again until well combined. Pour into baking pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If using two round pans, allow to sit for ten minutes before turning out of pans to cool completely. If baking in 9×13 pan, simply allow to cool in pan.

Cream Cheese Icing
■8 ounce Cream Cheese, room temp
■4 Tablespoons margarine, room temp
■3 Cups confectioner’s sugar
Combine all ingredients and mix with electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Ice cooled cake.

Store cake in refrigerator.

*Some people add 1/2 C crushed, drained strawberries to this icing as well. I leave them out to make the cake a bit prettier and easier to ice but feel free to add them in for more great strawberry flavor! Just mix them in after your icing is smooth and creamy and all other ingredients have been added.

I'll be right on this after the Lemonade Pie is gone. That'll be in about 4 hours.

Let us hear about it when you do make it, that is unless I make it before you do! It looks over the top, good!

OMG I am going to make another lemonade pie (I am now completely addicted) then make this wonderful cake because I have to have my strawberry fix set them both in front of me and eat until I am in a coma. Lord help anyone that comes between me and these wonderful desserts I will turn on them like a mad dog!!

I too am under the spell of this cake. I can't make it this evening but I'm off to the store to get strawberries, those little shortcake cakes, and the whip cream that comes in a squirt can. Looking forward to extra juicy berries so the juice can soak into the cake. I haven't had strawberry shortcake in ages

I think this will be the cake we have for Father's Day. This looks awesome. I love the icing with cream cheese.

Great idea Suzy! Look and see if your grocery store carries the Wild Strawberry Jell-O gelatin, its so much better than the regular strawberry flavor.

I got so excited when I saw this thread, as I have been looking for a good strawberry cake recipe made from scratch. But I see it's from a mix. I wonder how well it would work with adding regular dry ingredients for a white cake recipe, then following this recipe? The cake does really look good!

I think it would be just fine.
