Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, strawberry gelatin, pureed strawberries, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until well combined.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Blend in the strawberry puree and extract. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, mixing until creamy and smooth.

Step 5

Once the cakes have cooled, spread the strawberry cream cheese frosting over them generously.

Step 6

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish your cake with fresh strawberries.
