Directions:Preheat oven to 350°. Beat cake mix, gelatin, eggs, sugar, chopped fresh strawberries, milk, oil and flour at low speed (electric mixer) for 1 minute. Scrape down sides and beat at medium speed for 2 more minutes, stopping to scrape down sides, as needed. (The strawberries should be well blended.) Pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9” round cake pans. Bake at 350° for 23 minutes, or until cakes spring back when pressed lightly with a finger. Let cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely (about 1 hour.)
Spread the Strawberry Buttercream Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with whole and halved strawberries. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 1 week.
Strawberry Buttercream Frosting Beat butter at medium speed with electric mixer until fluffy (about 20 seconds). Add sugar and strawberries, beating at low speed until creamy. Add more sugar if frosting is too thin or add strawberries if too thick.
