Directions: Dissolve the gelatin in the cold water. Combine the
gelatin mixture with the cake mix, eggs, oil, flour, and 1/2 of the
strawberries and strawberry juice. Beat the mixture with an electric
mixer on medium for 5 minutes, scraping occasionally. Pour the batter
into a greased and floured 13X9 cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees until
the cake tests done. It will take 35 to 40 minutes. Test the cake by
inserting a toothpick into the center. When you pull it out it should
not have any batter or crumbs stuck to it. Cool this cake in the pan
on a wire rack. When it is cool, you can turn the cake out of the pan
if you like. To make the frosting, cream the butter, sugar and the
remaining strawberries in a bowl until light and fluffy, adding
additional sugar if it is too thin, adding a drop or two of water if
it is too thick. Spread the frosting over the cake. Freezing and
Serving Directions: If you like, you can freeze the cake UNFROSTED,
right in the pan. You can place the sugar, butter and remaining
strawberries in a freezer bag. To serve the cake, thaw it and the
frosting ingredients completely. Whip the frosting ingredients
together as above and frost the cake.
