🍓Strawberry Gelatin Cake🍓

1 BOX OF WHITE CAKE MIX

3 OZ. STRAWBERRY GELATIN

3/4 CUP OIL

1/2 CUP WATER

4 EGGS (ROOM TEMPERATURE)

1/2 HEAPING CUP OF STRAWBERRIES *See note below Mix all ingredients and pour into a well-greased 1/4 sheet cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the cake has begun to pull away from the edges of the pan. Leave in the pan and cool on a cooling rack.

Icing:

1 STICK MARGARINE OR BUTTER (Butter makes everything better!)

3 1/2 CUPS POWDERED SUGAR 1/2 CUP STRAWBERRIES (STRAIN WELL)

Mix the above ingredients together well. Make sure the strawberries are not too syrupy or the icing will be runny. Ice cooled cake in the pan.

*Strawberries

Thaw 15 oz. frozen sliced strawberries in sugar OR use 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, slice thin and add 1/2 cup sugar. Microwave sugared berries for 2 minutes, then mash and chill.

🍰Footnote: I found the frosting to be a little stiff and difficult to spread, so reserve some of the strawberry syrup you strain off, and add a tablespoon of it, if it’s too thick.

Seriously y’all. Try this. It tastes like Spring! 🍓
