    Spoon and spread frosting over top of cake. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows. Garnish each piece of cake with strawberries. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For other colorful cakes, use a different flavor of gelatin for the strawberry gelatin.
  • tip 2
    Try topping pieces of cake with a fresh fruit topping. Slice strawberries and place in small bowl. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar; stir and let stand 5 to 10 minutes or until berries have a juicy consistency. Spoon over each piece of cake.
  • tip 3
    Instead of frosting, try topping this cake with homemade whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping. Either way you can’t go wrong!
