By Mary Bailey Submitted to Corner Post

This strawberry cake recipe is a great way to use the fresh strawberries growing in your garden or from your local farmers market.

Strawberry cake

1 pkg. white cake mix (Duncan Hines yellow “butter golden”mix makes this cake excellent)

3 tbsp. flour

3 eggs

3/4 cup cooking oil

1 3 oz. package strawberry jello

1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries

3/4 cup water

Combine all ingredients into large mixing bowl and mix well. Bake in greased and floured tube pan at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or two 9-inch cake pans for 25 minutes. Can also use Bundt pan.

Strawberry icing

2 tbsp. melted butter

1½ cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp. crushed strawberries

Combine all ingredients. If icing is too thick, add a tablespoon or so of strawberry juice.

Drizzle icing over cake.

Note: Strawberries can be swapped for peaches/peach jello as they are almost in season.
