Throwback...

Mama used to make this cake for my birthday when I was a little girl. I've been thinking about it recently with all the strawberries in the store, so I tried to make it for our playgroup egg hunt we had here yesterday. It was just as good as I remembered, but way sweeter!

Strawberry Cake - Ann E. Naylor

1 box white or yellow cake mix (I used DH Golden Butter Recipe)

1 sm. pkg. strawberry Jello

4 eggs

1 c. oil

1 c. strawberries, fresh or frozen

Icing:

1 box confectioners' sugar

1 stick soft butter

1 c. strawberries

Mix all ingredients for cake together. Bake in 2 or 3 layers at 350.

For icing:

Cream butter, add sugar and beat well. Add strawberries *slowly* and mix well. Frost between layers.

Note: I was concerned when I was beating the sugar and butter - it got kind of thick and appeared like fondant, but once the strawberries were added it smoothed out and became "creamy".
