Here's a recipe I just came across tonight while looking for a dessert to make for my family. I made this one and thought it would be PERFECT for HWC shows in May!! Here ya go!

Fresh Strawberry Pound Cake

1 box white cake mix
1 c. crushed fresh strawberries
1 (3oz) package strawberry flavored gelatin
1/2 c. vegetable oil (I use applesauce in place of oil in all my baked goods-it's healthier)
4 eggs, room temperature

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl (Classic batter bowl works well); mix for 3 minutes. Pour into well greased and floured tube pan (or well seasoned fluted stone!). Bake at 325 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to serving plate.

Frosting

1/4 c. butter or margarine, softened
3-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. mashed fresh strawberries

Combine all ingredients until smooth and spread over cake.

May be frozen with or without frosting.


Enjoy!! I hope you all find it useful!!

for the frosting did you puree or just use an electric mixer to do the frosting?

I actually just mashed my strawberries with my potato masher...it seems to work fine, and I just use my electric mixer to mix the ingredients.
 
I am definitely going to try this one! I am doing a HWC fundraiser next month and this seems like something good and yummy I can make ahead of time... yummm.....
 
Well now I am salivating!! LOL
 
Think it would work in the microwave? Anyone try it yet that way?
 
Waiting for strawberries in the garden to ripen, will try this recipe!btw, "Women's World' magazine spotted at check out stand today had a polka dotted frosted cake. Thought that would be a good idea to serve with our Dots plates.
 
, thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe with us! I can already imagine how amazing this cake will taste with fresh strawberries in it. And I love that you included a healthier option by using applesauce instead of oil. I can't wait to try this out at my HWC shows in May. Thank you again for sharing!
