Strawberry Buttercream Cake: A Delightful Dessert Recipe

Ingredients

• Cake: 1 large package white cake mix, 1 small package strawberry gelatin, 4 large eggs, 100g sugar, 10 fresh strawberries (finely chopped), 1/2 cup canola oil, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup cake flour.
• Strawberry Buttercream Frosting: 2 sticks softened butter, 1 large package sifted powdered sugar, 1 cup fresh strawberries (finely chopped).

Preparation

For the Cake:

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, strawberry gelatin, eggs, sugar, chopped strawberries, milk, canola oil, and cake flour. Beat on low speed for 1 minute using an electric mixer.
3. Step 3: Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes, ensuring strawberries are well blended.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter evenly into three greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
5. Step 5: Bake for 25 minutes or until the cakes spring back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely (about 1 hour).
6. Step 6: Once cooled, spread Strawberry Buttercream Frosting between layers, on top, and around the edges. Decorate with whole and halved strawberries. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

For the Frosting:

1. Step 1: Using an electric mixer, cream softened butter on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 20 seconds).
2. Step 2: Gradually mix in powdered sugar and chopped strawberries until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more sugar (if too thin) or more strawberries (if too thick).
