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.

This cake can be difficult to work with if you are doing layers. I just had it completely fall apart. The taste is soooo good. Save yourself the headache and just make it in a 9x13 pan.

Did use suggestions made by others. Purchased a cake mix with no pudding. Also used as much strawberry juice as I could and then added water to finish out the cup of water in the recipe. I did change to a completely different frosting. It was a Cool Whip frosting, so the cake does have to be refrigerated. In my blender I added 1 cup of thawed sweetened strawberries, 1 tsp vanilla, 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese, 3 tbsp of powdered sugar. I did not drain the strawberries. I poured that into a bowl and folded in 12 ounces of Cool Whip. Frosted my already cold cake with this topping. Yummy! Make sure everything is cold. Cool Whip will collapse your cake is warm.

I LOVE how it tastes! I ate so much of the frosting before I iced the cake that I felt sick, LOL I had two problems with it, though. The frosting wouldn't get thick and I had enough left over after I iced the cake to ice a whole other cake. I'm not sure how that happened. The other thing was the cake layers were not completely baked, even though I did the clean toothpick test and I even baked them for an extra five minutes...... but other than this, it tastes HEAVENLY!!! Thank you, Paula, for another awesome, delicious recipe!
