Preheat oven to 350°F.

Gather ingredients: white cake mix, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, strawberry Jell-O, and sweetened sliced strawberries.

In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk, and 4 eggs.

Whisk the mixture until well combined, no hand mixer needed.

Add 3 oz of strawberry Jell-O to the mixture and stir until the color is a beautiful pink.

Fold in 1 cup of sweetened sliced strawberries into the batter.

Spray the cake pans with a non-stick spray that contains flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the icing (not shown in detail).

Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Ice the cake with the prepared icing after it has cooled completely.
