Steps

1Preheat ovens to 350º F. Prepare three 8-inch round cake pans with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
2In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, flour, gelatin, water, oil and eggs, and strawberries and mix well.
3Divide the cake batter between three prepared cake pans.
4Bake until cakes spring back when gently touched in the center and the edges begin to turn loose from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. You can follow my tips for how to tell when your cake is done..
5While the cake is baking, make the Strawberry Buttercream Frosting according to the recipe.
6After removing the cake pans from the oven, allow them to cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes in the pans, then carefully turn the cakes out onto wire racks to complete cooling.
7Assemble the cooled cake layers onto a cake stand or cake plate and frost each layer with the buttercream frosting until all three layers are frosted. Slice and serve.
