Preheat your oven to 175°C and grease your two round cake pans with a little bit of butter. Lining the bottoms with parchment paper makes sure your cake comes out perfectly every single time.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, strawberry gelatin, water, oil, and eggs using an electric mixer. Beat the mixture for two minutes until it is smooth, light and a beautiful and bright pink color.

Fold the pureed strawberries into your cake batter using a rubber spatula until they are well incorporated today. This step ensures that every single bite of your cake has a wonderful, fresh fruit flavor.

Divide your pink batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops with your clean spatula today. Bake for thirty minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and perfectly dry.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for ten minutes before moving them to a wire rack. Make sure they are completely cold before you add your creamy, sweet frosting to the top layer.

In a medium bowl, beat your softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and very fluffy. Add the finely chopped strawberries and stir well to create a sweet, textured and perfect frosting.

Paula Deen truly has a gift for rich, buttery desserts — if you enjoy her style, her indulgent warm cake with a gooey center is another recipe you will not want to miss.

Spread a generous layer of frosting over the first cake layer and place the second cake on top. Cover the entire cake with the remaining strawberry frosting and serve it to your happy guests today.
