strawberry cake
cake
1 package (18.25 oz) plain white cake mix
1 package (3 oz.) strawberry gelatin
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries with juice (1 and 1/2 cups whole berries)
1 cup of vegetable oil , such as canola , corn , safflower , soybean , or sunflower.
1/2 cup of whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup frozen unsweetened grated coconut, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans
strawberry cream cheese frosting
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature
8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, at room temperature .
3 1/2 cups of sifted confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup of fresh strawberries, rinsed , capped , and mashed tomake 1/2 cup, then drained well.
1/2 cup frozen unsweetened grated coconut, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven asnd preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three 9-inch round cake pans with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour and set aside.
2. Place the cake mix, strawberry gelatin, mashed straberries and juice, oil, milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for one minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for two minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The strawberries should be well blended into the batter. Fold in the pecans and coconut. Divide the batter among the three prepared pans and place them in the oven; if your oven is not large enough, place two pans on the center rack and place the third pan in the center of the highest rack.
3. Bake the cakes until they are light brown and start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 28 to 30 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the layer on the highest oven rack. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for ten minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert again onto another rack so that the cakes are right side up. Allow them to cool completely, 30 minutes more.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Combine the lcream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add the sugar and drained strawberries. Blen the frosing on low until the sugar has been incorporated. Then raise the speed to medium and mix the frosing another minute or until the frosing lightens and is well combined. Fold in the pecans and the coconut.
5. To assemble, place one cake layer, right side up, on a serving platter. Spread the top with frosting. Add another cake layer, right side up, and frost the top. Repeat this process with the third layer and frost the top. Use the remaining frosting to frost the sides, working with clean, smooth strokes. Serve at once or chill the cake for later serving.
Addendum: Place the cake, uncoverd in the refrigerator until the frosing sets, 20 minutes. Cover the cake with waxed paper and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Or freeze it, wrapped in aluminum foli, for up to six months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
The author says You won't recognize the white cake mix after adding strawberry gelatin and fresh berries. Add the rich cream cheese frosting and ths cake has blue ribbon potential. This is a superior cake, perfect for birthday parties and baby showers.
