Even using dry mixes, you can make a unique, delicious cake with character. And it's effortless. Your guests won't even guess you've cheated! The cake will be completely strawberry-flavored, fragrant, and brightly summery. You won't need fresh strawberries, meaning you can enjoy this wonderful flavor all year round. Bake the layers using a dry white sponge mix, adding strawberry jelly mix, and frozen strawberry puree in syrup. The layers will be vibrant and their flavor will be richly berry-flavored. Cover the entire cake with a frosting made from cream cheese whipped with strawberry puree. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, if desired.

Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease 2 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the sponge mixture and strawberry gelatin. Add the chopped strawberries, eggs, oil, and water; beat on medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.

To make strawberry glazeIn a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup strawberry puree and strawberry extract (you'll have some leftover strawberry puree that can be used in smoothies). Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
Assemble the cake, spreading strawberry glaze over the cake layers and frosting the entire top and sides. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, if desired.
