4 lg. eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease 2 round 9-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and jello. Add pureed strawberries, eggs, oil, and water; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

Spread Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting in between layers and on top and sides of cake.

Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. NOTE: For pinker frosting, add 2 to 3 drops of red food coloring to frosting.
