Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1 box (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup mashed strawberries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp strawberry puree
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or cupcake tins to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the strawberry cake mix and strawberry gelatin powder to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, mashed strawberries, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat everything together until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan or cupcake tins. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan or on a rack before applying the glaze to prevent melting and running.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the strawberry puree amount to achieve the desired consistency.
- Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the strawberry glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices for an extra burst of flavor and decoration.
Notes
- You can use fresh or thawed frozen strawberries for the mashed strawberries and strawberry puree, depending on availability.
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before glazing to avoid a runny glaze.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry puree in the glaze to get the consistency you prefer – thicker for spreading or thinner for drizzling.
- For cupcakes, bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Store the glazed cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
