Strawberry Cake

This is a no fail cake!  Try this only if you really like strawberries and your sweet tooth is getting the best of you.  This recipe was given to me by my oldest son'e Godmother.  Thanks Laureen it is always a hit.

1 Yellow or White Cake mix.  I use Betty Crocker white.
2 TBS Flour
1 sm box of Strawberry Jello
4 Eggs
2/3 Cup Oil
1/2 Cup Water
3/4 Box frozen Sweet Strawberries and Juices (this is in the frozen food section...it is not in a bag)
Thaw strawberries in a strainer and catch all juice.  Set aside 1/4 of strawberries for frosting.  Add all cake ingredients including juice.  Mix according to box directions.  Pour cake into a 9x13 pan and bake according to to cake box instructions.  Be sure you grease and flour ONLY the bottom of the pan.  Test cake with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it's done.

Frosting
8 oz. Cream Cheese - softened
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 cup soft butter or margarine ( not from a tub)
Remaining Strawberries - NO JUICE!
Powdered Sugar

Put first 4 ingredients in a bowl and beat well.  Add about 1/2 bag of powdered sugar.  Taste and make sure your frosting does not taste like p. sugar.  If so you have added too much.  This frosting will be very soft....spread on cake and keep in the refrigerator.
