- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 oz strawberry jello powder softened 1/2 cup vegetable oil, box, plus 1/2 cup butter
- 3 oz unsalted butter softened 1/2 cup vegetable oil, box, plus 1/2 cup butter
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg large

- ½ cup milk
Strawberry cream cheese frosting
- 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Prepare 4, 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper circles and cooking spray. Put the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until the strawberries are pureed. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberry jello powder with a whisk. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter, oil, and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree. Mix until combined.
- Add the dry mixture, alternating with the milk until completely combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into the 4 cake pans.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
- Allow the cakes to completely cool while making the frosting.
For the strawberry cream cheese frosting:
- Add the freeze dried strawberries to a blender or food processor, and blend until the strawberries become a fine powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually until completely combined.
- Add the strawberry powder until the desired color and flavor is reached. I used about 3 tablespoons.
To assemble cake:
- Level the cakes using a large serrated knife to create a flat surface.
- Stack the cakes with a layer of frosting between each cake layer.
- With a large icing spatula, spread a thin even layer of frosting on top of and around the cake to create a crumb coat.
- Place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set the crumb coat.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting and garnish with sliced fresh strawberries.
- Slice, and enjoy!
