Ingredients

Scale

15.25 ounces white cake mix
3 ounces sugar-free strawberry Jell-O (1 package)
4 egg whites
⅓ cup canola oil
1 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries (thawed)
½ cup water
⅓ cup butter (softened)
2 ⅓ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and Jell-O mix. Add egg whites and canola oil; beat until blended.
Mash the thawed strawberries in a small bowl, reserving 3 tablespoons for frosting later. Mix the remaining strawberries and water into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat softened butter with reserved strawberries and gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy.
Once cooled, layer the cakes with frosting in between and cover the top and sides.
