Strawberry Cake

preheat oven 350* 

greased 9×13, or see options below 

serves many 

1 boxed white cake mix 

3oz box (4 serving size) strawberry or raspberry gelatin 

2 Tbsp flour 

1/4 cup oil 

1/2 cup applesauce (I used strawberry applesauce) 

4 eggs 

1/2 cup water 

350gr (about 12oz) frozen strawberries, thawed and mashed 

Throw away the instructions on the back of the box. Mix everything listed here together in the bowl of an electric mixer if you have one, or a large bowl if you don't. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until well blended and somewhat increased in volume.

Pour into a greased 9×13 OR 8×12 OR a greased tube pan (angel food pan) OR a greased bundt pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out almost clean. A few crumbs sticking to the knife is fine. 

This can be frosted with your favourite icing, or you can serve it just dusted with icing sugar. Personally I like it with whipped cream on top, but that's just me. Good eating, and now you have one less day to hide from your psycho strawberry neighbour – or you can bake strawberry cakes and start bringing them back to her. Hehe.
