Strawberry Cake
Dorothy Bettnbrock

1 package white cake mix
1 package strawberry gelatin

3 Tablespoon flour
4 eggs
1 cup cooking oil
1/2 10-oz box frozen strawberries
Mix all ingredients about 4 minutes, using moderate speed on mixer. Bake in 3 8-inch greased layer cake pans for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Frosting
1 box confectioners sugar
1 stick margarine
1/2 box frozen strawberries
Mix all ingredients thoroughly.


Hint. I would crush the berries in food processor or a blender, so their is no big chucks of strawberries or would probably be good using fresh berries as well.Another hint make sure you have all ingredients , I forgot to pick up confectioners sugar ,I though I had enough ..needless to say we are eating this cake without frosting.. it is still good.
