Directions:
1. PREPARING MACERATED STRAWBERRIES: Wash and remove stems before thinly slicing. Place in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover and allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Once macerated, use a fork to smash the berries. Set aside a 1/2 cup of drained strawberries for the frosting. Save the remaining berries and syrup for the cake.

2. CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F and grease a 9 X 13 cake pan. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and gelatin thoroughly. Add oil, milk, eggs, and 1 cup of macerated berries with syrup and beat for 2 minutes in the mixer. Pour into pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick come out mostly clean. Allow to completely cool before frosting. If you have any remaining syrup you can simply pour it over the cake.

3. FROSTING: Cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup well-drained strawberries, and vanilla or strawberry extract. You can gradually add more sugar to get a thicker consistency if the frosting is to runny. Frost cake and enjoy!

Personal Notes:
I love strawberries and someone made this cake one time and I loved it. It's really good and I have been wanting to make but I have been busy here lately. I like how the cake is really moist, but I think that the frosting is what makes the cake taste really good. I'm basically the only one in my family who really loves strawberries, but I don't know if they have tried this cake before. If you make this cake, I hope you enjoy it.
