Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Puree strawberries in a blender and strain to remove seeds.
Smashed strawberries are just chopped lightly and topped with 2 teaspoons of sugar, let them sit and they will become juicy, smash gently with a fork. This creates larger chunks of strawberries for your cake mixture. If you do not want large chunks you can puree the entire box of strawberries. Expect to get about 1 cup of strawberry puree from 1 pound of strawberries.
