This recipe is perfect just as it is written. If you want to change the recipe with paragraphs of additions you need to enter that as your recipe. This cake is LOVED everywhere I have taken it. I have had people beg for it and I've had people holler out when they first tasted it! It is definitely a favorite just as it is!

This recipe has been my "go to" for special occasions for a number of years. It never fails to elicit compliments. I always use strawberry cake mix instead of white. I have used both frozen and fresh strawberries. I like fresh better. I have also found that cutting the amount of strawberries in the frosting down to a 1/2 cup and, making sure they are very well drained helps the frosting be less runny. I also add 1 tsp of vanilla to the frosting.

Thanks, have been using this recipe since late sixties and lost my copy. Thanks for having it on line for me to find again. Best cake and always a favorite for birthdays! Dream Whip made with the strawberry juice makes great icing or Whip cream.

Thanks again, Mary

Love it!

I used the cake recipe to make cupcakes, they were good flavor but VERY heavy, moist, and dense. 1 cup oil is far too much in my opinion, that's really a ton of oil for this amount of cake. The cake mix box only calls for 1/4 to 1/3 cup oil. I do love that all the water needed for the cake mix is replaced by strawberries and juice, that's great. Also I like the addition of the strawberry jello mix to augment the strawberry flavor. I also recommend to completely puree the strawberries, whether frozen or fresh, before adding them to the cake mix, because the mixer isn't going to break up big chunks of strawberry. I made cupcakes with the recipe, if you use 1/4 cup batter for each it makes at least 24, and bake for 18-21 minutes. In future I will use this recipe again but reduce the oil to 1/3 or 1/2 cup, and I'm not sure the milk is necessary either. I didn't make the frosting, I used a chocolate frosting recipe with 1.5 packages cream cheese and 1.5 stick butter, 3.5c powdered sugar, and 2/3 cup cocoa vanilla and bit of salt, which was very good.

The best!

I misplaced my cook book with this recipe.This is the classic strawberry cake I remembered!!! Love it! Thank you.

Enjoy!

Love the taste of this cake. Has anyone had a problem with the center falling as it cools? I still keep making it because it tastes so good but can't figure out why the middle drops.

This cake is very yummy and moist. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make this again and again!!!

Loved this cake, I added a little graded lemon zest and vanilla to the frosting and omitted the mashed strawberries, instead I put the mashed strawberries as a filling between the cake layers and this worked Really Well! Loved the dark rich pink color of the cake.

I have had this recipe for at least 40 years. Very shocked to find it here. I have made this cake several times. Very good cake. I'm going to try the cream cheese icing this time.

I really appreciate the comments as I've not made the cake yet. My concern was fresh vs frozen strawberries. With everyone's comments, I now know what not to do. Perfect for Easter dinner.

This cake is delicious!!

I loved it it was perfect and fluffy too!! Thanks!
