Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Batter:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, all-purpose flour, and strawberry Jello powder. Sift to ensure everything is well combined.

- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake the Cake:
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Prepare the Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the strawberry puree, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. If too thick, add a little milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Refrigerate the frosting until ready to use.
Frost the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the strawberry cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula or frosting knife.
Serve and Enjoy:
