A Doctored Up Gluten Free Cake Mix Recipe.

Every time my daughter has a birthday or special occasion, she needs a PINK cake.  This is my quick and easy go to recipe for a girly Strawberry Cake recipe.  It turns out really moist and delicious.  You really would never know you used a yellow cake mix to start with.

1 box of Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix
1 3.8 ounce box of Strawberry Jello mix
1/3 cup Sugar
4 Eggs
1/2 cup Oil
3/4 cup Pureed Strawberries
  (if using frozen, use thawed juice, otherwise add a 2 tablespoons of water to puree berries)
1 teaspoon Strawberry Extract

• Add Strawberries to food processor to mash, adding a few tablespoons of water as necessary.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, gelatin powder and sugar. Mix to combine.
• Add eggs, oil, and extract.
• Beat on low speed for 3 minutes or until incorporated.
• Add pureed strawberries into cake batter.  
• Mix until everything is fully incorporated and all of cake mix is pink.
• Pour into two greased 8-inch round baking pans.
• Bake at 350° for 41-46 minutes. I find that cakes with fresh fruit added take the full time to set up properly.  Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
