Yum, this was sooo good. But when I first took it out of the oven I wasn’t so crazy about it. Definitely put in the fridge overnight after baked to really enjoy. All the flavors come together after that. This is definitely a recipe I will make again and again. It was a huge hit and so easy.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup sweetened strawberries, mashed
- 1 small box dry strawberry jello
- ½ stick butter or margarine, softened
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup sweetened strawberries, mashed
- Mix all ingredients and pour into greased 9x13 pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the icing.
- Mix together all icing ingredients until smooth – may need to add more powdered sugar or strawberries for a spreading consistency. Mix well first before you add extra sugar or strawberries.
- Once the cake is cool, spread the icing on the cake.
- Store the cake in refrigerator; it's best when it's chilled for at least 2 hours.
