This is an excellent cake! I got out my grandmother's strawberry cake recipe to compare them. They're the same except for the frosting. (hers is butter, powdered sugar, and frozen strawberries with juice
I'll stick with my grandmother's frosting, but I really enjoyed the cream cheese frosting on this recipe!

This was a very good frosting. Since our family doesn't like a SWEET frosting, I used only 4 cups of powdered sugar which frosted the whole 9 X 13 cake with enough left over to frost another one later. I think I might have an answer as to why some people ended up with it being too thin. The recipe calls for only 1/4 cup of the 10 oz. package of strawberries pureed. If all of the package was used in the frosting, it would be way too thin. Hope this helps.

This cake is wonderful..Had it today at my Easter dinner...Everyone LOVED it. I only used 6 cups of sugar. I just couldnt make myself put the last one in. I did have to refrigerate the frosting to thicken it up before putting it on the cake. The frosting is sweet but when paired with the cake it is DELISH

The cake was very tasty but I found the frosting to be too sweet for my tastes. I was able to find a cake mix of the right size - Duncan Hines French Vanilla cake mix, but that took checking multiple stores. I set the extra puree out in a bowl with a spoon for drizzling - that was a nice extra for the dessert. I will make this cake again, but I will look to do a frosting that is more whipped cream base with less sugar, which will help the yummy strawberry cake be the star of the dessert.

This is the best strawberry cake! My husband requested a strawberry cake for his birthday and it's now my go to birthday cake.Everyone loves it. It' so easy as well. I've never seen a 18.25 box cake, so I add 1/4 c. cake flour. I usually have to cook it an additional 15-20 minutes.I've never made the strawberry frosting, it's a lot of strawberry so I just do a plain cream cheese frosting. Must try! it's great!

OMG this is a great cake! I made it for my sisters 1yr anniversary cake and they loved it. I made a pre-tester and my mom demanded I make another one for Easter. Needless to say it has become a family favorite! though I didn't use the icing recipe listed the cake it self is great even with out the icing. I used my bosses cream cheese icing recipe and it was amazing! Tip- if your icing is kinda loose/runny- add a little more confectioners' sugar(powdered sugar

Made this for my husbands birthday a couple years ago when he requested a strawberry cake. It instantly became a hit with the family and extended family. It has even become the go-to cake in our family.
The icing has never come out right even with several attempts at tweaking it. I wish someone from this website would come on here and address the issues we have all had with the icing.

I thought the cake itself was very good and moist. But the icing had some problems. First of all the proportions must be wrong, SEVEN cups of confectioners was way too much and the taste was bland and overly sweet. SO I went to the cake doctor's book and looked at their recipe for strawberry cake and adapted this recipe to be more in line with theirs. They had twice the amount of butter and half the amount od powdered sugar. I doubled the amount of strawberry puree as well. Eventually I made it work. So thumbs up for the cake, and Yuck foe the icing.

I made this and did not care for it at all. I was going to make a scratch cake but for times sake decided on this recipe. Even with the extra addition of the strawberries and jello, it tasted like a box cake with jello. The icing was way too runny and the strawberry taste was overwhelming. I think just a regular buttercream frosting would have been much better. I would not make this cake again.
