Cake
1/2cup butter (do not use margarine)
1box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® butter recipe yellow cake mix
1 1/4cups water
3eggs
1/2cup strawberry jam or preserves
Brown Sugar Frosting
1/2cup butter
1cup packed brown sugar
1/4cup milk
2 1/2cups powdered sugar
1.In heavy 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat, moving and turning pan occasionally, just until butter is light brown. (Watch carefully; butter can brown and then burn quickly.) Cool 15 minutes.
2.Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
3.In large bowl, beat browned butter, cake mix, water and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
4.Bake 34 to 39 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
5.Spread jam evenly over top of cake. Freeze at least 15 minutes or until jam is set.
6.Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat to low. Boil and stir 2 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cool to lukewarm, about 20 minutes.
7.Gradually stir powdered sugar into brown sugar mixture. If frosting becomes too stiff, stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, or heat over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread frosting over jam. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):  Heat oven to 375°F. Stir 1 tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour into dry cake mix. Decrease 1/2 cup butter in cake to 1/4 cup. Increase water to 1 1/2 cups. Beat browned butter, cake mix, water and eggs on low speed 4 minutes. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.

Success
So the jam will spread easily, stir it before spreading it on the cake.
Time-Saver
In a rush? Use 1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting instead of the Brown Sugar Frosting.
