Strawberry Jell-O Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Jell-O Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take three 8-inch cake pans and give them a good greasing and flouring to ensure your cakes slide out easily later.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine a box of white cake mix with a packet of strawberry gelatin mix, a splash of vegetable oil, a few eggs, and some mashed strawberries.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to add a bit of all-purpose flour to the mix! Stir everything together until it’s well blended and smooth.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to divide this delightful batter evenly among your prepared cake pans.

6. Step 6

   Pop them into the preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 to 30 minutes.

7. Step 7

   You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, take them out and let the cakes cool in the pans for about 30 minutes—this is the perfect time to savor the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen.

9. Step 9

   While the cakes cool, let’s whip up a luscious frosting.

10. Step 10

    In a bowl, mix together some confectioners’ sugar, softened butter, and a splash of vanilla extract until it’s smooth and creamy.

11. Step 11

    For an extra touch, chill the frosting in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

12. Step 12

    Once your cakes are completely cool, take that chilled frosting and whip it until it’s fluffy and inviting.

13. Step 13

    Now comes the fun part: layer your cakes with a generous spread of frosting in between, then cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

14. Step 14

    Stand back and admire your beautiful creation—it’s not just a cake; it’s a celebration of flavors! Enjoy every slice!.
