Gerri's Strawberry Cake

This recipe from Lindsey's friend's sister is fairly easy to make, and has been rated "The best strawberry cake EVER."

1/2 cup hot water
1 box strawberry Jello
1 box white cake mix
1 c. canola oil
4 eggs
1 c. strawberries, sliced

For glaze:
1 box confectioner's sugar
1/2 c. strawberries, sliced
1 stick of butter, melted

Bundt pan (Williams-Sonoma has some really cute ones! I have one from them that is rose-shaped.)

Preheat oven to 325. Grease bundt pan. Add hot water to Jello mix and completely dissolve (Fixed! Thanks for the heads-up Lindsey!). Mix with white cake mix, oil, eggs, and strawberry slices. Blend with a mixer until smooth and strawberry slices are well cut. Pour into bundt pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

For glaze: blend confectioner's sugar, strawberries, and butter until strawberries are cut. Now you have two options. You can either drizzle the glaze over a hot cake which will cause it to soak in, or you can allow the cake to cool and then drizzle the glaze over it. The first allows the glaze to soak into the cake, which is really good but not very pretty. The second is still good and makes for a more attractive cake. Enjoy!
