Strawberry Cake

Box white cake mix
2/3 cup oil
1 box strawberry jello
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
1/2 pkg frozen strawberries

Icing:
1 pound powdered sugar
1/4 lb butter
1/2 package frozen strawberries

Mix cake mix, jello and flour in bowl.  Add water and eggs and beat, add strawberries.  Beat, pour into prepared pan bake at 350* until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

To prepare icing:
Beat butter, add strawberries and beat, add powdered sugar and beat until creamy, ice cool cake.


This is my grandmothers recipe, and she was a dumper.  So the measurements are estimates not exacts, so don't go for perfection here.  The strawberries work best if you use the strawberries that are frozen in syrup.  Yes, it's not good for you, and yes, it makes for a very sweet, very rich cake.  But it is absolutely amazing.  I also swear that they are doing something to powdered sugar and butter now, because my icing always comes out more glaze like than icing like.  So if you want a thicker icing, then keep adding powdered sugar, or drain your strawberries well.
