Pretty pink cupcake topped with Chocolate dipped strawberry! |
Cake:
1 box white cake mix
1 pkg. strawberry gelatin
2/3 cup oil
1/3 cup water
1 10-ounce box frozen strawberries, thawed & divided
4 eggs
In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix & the strawberry gelatin. Add the oil & water & beat. Add 1/2 box of the strawberries and beat again. Next add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each one.
Our into a 9 x 13" pan, 2 round cake pans or 24 cupcake liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes for the cakes, or about 20 minutes for the cupcakes. Test with a toothpick for doneness.
Strawberry Icing:
1 stick butter (I replaced this with 4 ounces cream cheese & 1/4 cup softened butter)
1 box of powdered sugar (this equals 3 & 3/4 cups)
the other half of the strawberry box
Mix together and spread on cooled cake.
