STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans lined with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix and dry Jell-O mix. Add mashed (or diced) strawberries, eggs and oil. Use an electric mixer on low speed to combine for 30 seconds. Add the buttermilk, increase the speed to medium, and continue mixing for 2 more minutes.
• Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared pans. Tap the pans on the counter once or twice to release any big air bubbles.
• Bake the cakes for 27-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
• Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth, about 3 more minutes. Add the strawberries and mix on low just until combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
• Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard the extra cake.
• Place one cake layer on your cake stand or plate. Evenly cover the top with a layer of frosting. Top with the second cake layer and evenly cover the top with another layer of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. Refrigerate for at least one hour (or overnight) before slicing and serving.
