Strawberry Cake

This cake is a family favorite, especially to Matt (Kelly's husband). It is not the prettiest cake but defiantly is asked for over and over. I normally don't try making it layered because the icing is pretty runny and I am afraid of it falling over, but I gave it a whirl and it stayed...well it really didn't have much time before it was cut into and then well, if fell.


Strawberry Cake & Icing
1 Pkg. yellow cake mix
1 Pkg. Strawberry Jell-O
1/2 C water
1/2 Pkg. frozen strawberry
1 C Wesson oil
4 eggs

Mix till well blended & bake in greased & floured pan.
350 deg. -40 min.

Icing-
1/2 pkg. frozen strawberry (make sure and use whole berries without added sugar)
1/4 lb. butter (room temperature)
4 3/4 C powdered sugar

Blend butter and powdered sugar and then add strawberries to taste. Best if you thaw the strawberries first.

I didn't use the full amount of strawberries that it called for so that it would not be so runny. I just went by color and TASTE... well, how else would you make icing if you didn't have all of the spoons out of the flatware drawer and on the counter or in the sink. I really think I need to find a dishwasher when I bake or cook for that matter. Ok, so I have Brayden and he loves cleaning dishes but then again I am still cleaning up and usually it is a bigger mess:)
