Mom's strawberry cake

Strawberry Cake
 
1 pkg Duncan White Cake Mix
3 tbs flour
1 3 oz box strawberry jello; dry
1/2 cup Crisco oil
4 eggs
1 10 oz frozen sliced strawberries; thawed and divided in half 
    (I frequently used fresh)
 
Combine cake mix, flower, dry jello.  Add oil and egges.  Puree the strawberries; pour in cup and
    add enough water to equal 3/4 cu liquid.  Add pureed strawberries to batter and beat
    for 3 min.  Pour batter into greased and floured cake pan or 2 layer pans.  Bake 350 degrees     
    60-65 min or until done.  (When cake starts to shrink away from sides of pan)  A little less
    if using layer pans.
 
 
Strawberry frosting
 
1/2 pkg thawed strawberries (for fresh)
1/2 teas vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 lb box confectioners powdered sugar
 
Cream softened butter and sugar; add vanilla and strawberries.  Spread frosting over cooled cake.
 
 
ENJOY!!!!
