EXCELLENT CAKE. I made a few adjustments, used strawberry cake mix for example. Very good. I had to use smart balance spread because I ran out of butter and it was still great.

I put the whole bag of strawberries in the blender and then put the whole mixture into the cake. I used the cool whipped frosting on the site.

I made this cake for my child's first birthday party. There was enough for 2 nine inch round cake pans and 1 square cake pan. I made the round cake, adding fresh strawberry slices in between layers, and used the rest to make a square cake that I cut in the shape of the number one. Wonderful!!! Iced with the cream cheese icing (with melted white chocolate chips) from this site and couldn't stop eating it.

This is the most amazing cake I've ever tried. I used the Cream Cheese Frosting II from this site instead of the one that came with the recipe. I didn't remove the seeds for the batter, and nobody could tell there were seeds in the cake. I also took somebody's advice and added sliced strawberries between each layer. FANFREAKINTASTIC!

This is unbelievable! I made this recipe into cupcakes, and used the cream cheese icing recipe from this site for the topping. I took the remaining strawberries, which I pureed, and mixed it in the cream cheese icing. I used a regular sized cupcake pan and the regular sized cupcake baking cups. This is absolutely delicious, and tastes VERY similar to the most popular cupcake sold at a local cupcake store in my town. Will make this again and again. Thank you!!!

I make this cake all the time! I make a cream cheese frosting to go with it and garnish with fresh strawberries. It always disappears

Yum. Even better the next day.

It was great! I was afraid that it would have an artificial taste like regular strawberry cake mix, but it didn't at all! Nice fresh strawberry taste!

This was a moist cake, but the flavor did not taste very berry-like. It had an almost chemical-like flavor. Maybe that was the jello. Anyhow, my coworkers liked it, but I couldn't get past something about the flavor.

Rave reviews! Everyone could not get enough of this cake! The only changes I made were from other reviews suggestions... I added cream cheese to the icing and mixed whipped cream and pureed strawberries as the filing. Yum!!!

I wasn't sure about this cake as I wanted to make one from scratch and it called for adding a cake mix--I shouldn't have worried! Took it to an adult birthday party where cake isn't expected to be a hit...everone loved it! I didn't have frozen strawberries, used one can and some fresh...had about 5 people ask me for the recipe and 2 requestes to bring it for their birthdays! Thanks for the recipe!

This is so delicious!!! It is so moist! I used whole frozen (but thawed) unsweetened strawberries. Everyone loved this cake! I used the "Cool Whipped Frosting" using fat free whipped cream and it was still awesome! I put the frosting directly on the cake (not adding strawberries to it) I chopped white chocolate chips and topped the frosting with them, and then with sliced strawberries. These flavors were amazing together! I am bringing the leftovers to the office tomorrow!

This cake tastes very good, but it's not very pretty. I used a 9x13 pan instead of making 3 layers. I don't recommend trying to use this icing on a 3 layer cake, but it works well for a 9x13 cake. As others have said, it's more of a glaze than an icing. I used fresh strawberries. Next time I think I'll puree the strawberries that are in the cake and some of the strawberries in the glaze. I liked the look of strawberry slices in the glaze though, so I'll leave some of those whole.

This is a really good cake. I used fresh strawberries for both cake and frosting, and added a tsp of vanilla to the frosting. I also made cupcakes, they turned out very nice as well. I would not hesitate to bring this to a potluck or get-together, it is fairly light and full of flavor without any cloying sweetness. And who doesn't like strawberry :-) Caveat: The word "frosting" is a bit of a misnomer here. This makes more of a glaze. If you are expecting something fluffy and thick, you should ice the cake with a different frosting recipe. Enjoy!

Fun to make and to try but this doesn't rate in the "Recipe Hall of Fame." The cake itself is moist and flavorful, but I couldn't quite get past the artificial taste and color. Also, given the reviews about the frosting being a "sloppy mess," I took other reviewers' suggestions and used "Cool Whipped Frosting," substituting strawberry extract for the vanilla and adding 1/3 cup of strawberry puree. I made this in two layers, and put a layer of fresh, sliced strawberries over the filling in between the layers. I decorated it with just a few fresh strawberries with the stems. I could see this "pretty in pink" cake as a real crowd pleaser for a little girl's birthday party, and wish I had come across this when my daughter was younger. All around, not much payoff or reward for the effort. To me, it just screams "fake."

I made this for my daughter's 15th birthday party and it was delicious. The frosting was runny and looked a mess but they had fun calling it the ugly cake and she even posted a picture of it on her my space page! Will make it again complete with the ugly frosting!

Made this for my daughter's second birthday. We all enjoyed it and it was very simple to make. I just wish the flavor was better. I used "Cool Whip Frosting" off this site in between the layers.
