Strawberry Frosted Strawberry Sheet Cake

While we�ve been know to use a package of our favorite jello mix here and there � they add great flavor, color and usually a nice, thick texture � there�s something really refreshing about going back to basics and making a cake from scratch. Specifically, a lovely, summer strawberry cake. This one bakes in a 9�13 pan, with lots of fresh strawberries tucked into both the cake batter and the frosting. Nothing fake to be found here, just real flavor (and color) from real fruit! We love this and you will too, promise.
