Strawberry Dream Cake

This cake is typically made with box cake mix and jello. I much prefer to make cakes the old-fashioned way-- from scratch! Cook's Country Magazine featured this recipe in their June/July 2011 issue. When I saw that real strawberries are used, I had to make this cake for myself. The steps are a bit fussy, in that you have to reduce the juice of thawed strawberries. For the frosting, a blend of butter and cream cheese is good, and the remaining strawberry pulp is added in-- leaving the frosting a pretty pink, with bits of strawberries. While this cake takes a few more bowls, and has more steps than dumping in a cake mix... it's a show stopper! The frosting was off-the-charts delicious!
