Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, strawberry jello, and frozen sliced strawberries well.
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan or a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter cake, consider using egg whites instead of whole eggs. You can substitute the frozen strawberries with fresh ones, but make sure to chop them finely. If you prefer a denser texture, add a little sour cream to the batter. To enhance the strawberry flavor, mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract. This cake is also delicious when topped with whipped cream or paired with Bonnie'S Jello Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful strawberry cake with a dollop of whipped cream on top for added richness. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside a light salad, such as a spinach salad with strawberries, to balance the sweetness. It's perfect for celebratory occasions, especially when celebrating milestones like an 80th birthday.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, slice a piece and microwave it for about 10-15 seconds or until warm. This method helps retain the cake's moisture and flavor.
