Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 1 box white cake mix Provides a light, airy body.
  • 1 package strawberry-flavored gelatin Adds vibrant strawberry flavor and color.
  • 1 cup mashed strawberries Use fresh strawberries for best flavor.
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil Creates a moist crumb.
  • 4 large eggs Ensure they're at room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup water Helps to blend ingredients.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and strawberry-flavored gelatin.
  • Add the mashed strawberries, vegetable oil, eggs, and water to the mixture.
  • Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.

Baking

  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing to ensure a light, fluffy texture. Consider serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh strawberries.
