GRANNY'S STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Grease cake pans (2 OR 3- 8 inch or 2- 9 inch) with crisco.
• Use two or three tablespoons of cake mix to dust the greased cake pans.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and gelatin and salt.
• Add oil and start mixer, slowly adding strawberries then the eggs 1 at a time and mix until well blended.
• Divide cake mix equally between two or three cake pans.
• Quickly place cake pans in the oven and immediately reduce heat to 350º.
• Follow cooking chart on cake mix box for pan size you choose, checking at shortest cooking time and watching carefully to prevent scorching.
• Cool in pan, on wire rack for 15 minutes.
• Remove from pan.
• I like to place the layers on wax or parchment paper or paper towels for easier handling to prevent cracking.
• For frosting: Mix butter on low speed for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 the sugar and mix then the remaining sugar, strawberries and a dash of salt to the butter and mix until well blended.
• About 4 minutes.
• When cake is completely cool, place one layer on cake plate and put a thin layer of frosting on top.
• Place the second layer on the first and put a thin layer of frosting on it.
• Top with the third layer and frost top and sides with remaining frosting.
• If you only make two layers use a thicker layer of frosting between the two layers.
• Allow cake to sit for at least four to six hours before serving.
• Overnight is much better.

GRANNY'S STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round pans.
• Muddle thawed strawberries in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for frosting.
• Mix white cake mix and gelatin mix together in a bowl. Add strawberries, eggs, oil, and water and beat until well combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
• Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl; mix in reserved strawberries and vanilla extract. Beat in powdered sugar until combined.
• Sandwich cake layers with frosting; spread remaining frosting over the top and sides.

MAMA SEWARD'S STRAWBERRY CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients together and pour into a 9x11 inch pan. (You can layer in 2 smaller pans if you'd prefer.) Do not fill to the top of the pan, or batter will bake up too tall.
• 2. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
• 3. FROSTING: Mix together frosting ingredients. (It's very important that strawberries are drained.) If too thick keep adding strawberries until it is the right consistency.

GRANDMA'S STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Place strawberry mixture in refrigerator until cake is cool.
• When cake is cool to the touch, poke holes all over the top with the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick.
• Pour strawberry mixture all over cake.

• Note: The strawberry mixture is very runny, but will soak into the cake if ALOT of holes are poked on top of the cake and it is allowed to chill overnight.
