Why use both strawberry cake mix and strawberry Jell-O together?

The most brilliant double-strawberry individual approach combines the most concentrated artificial strawberry flavor from the Jell-O with the most natural baked individual strawberry character from the cake mix, producing the most complex and the most genuinely extraordinary individual strawberry flavor intensity that a single-component approach never achieves. The Jell-O also contributes the most vibrant individual pink color and the most essential gelatin-based moisture retention.

Can I use frozen strawberries in the batter?

Thaw the individual frozen strawberries the most completely and the most thoroughly drain all excess liquid before dicing and patting dry. The most thoroughly drained and the most completely dried individual frozen strawberries produce an equally extraordinary individual batter addition. Do not add individual frozen strawberries without the most thorough draining as excess moisture produces the most flat and the most improperly risen individual cake.

Can I make a Paula Deen strawberry cake from scratch without a cake mix?

Yes — substitute the individual strawberry cake mix with a from-scratch vanilla batter using 2½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla — keeping the strawberry Jell-O mix addition for the most vibrant individual color and concentrated individual flavor. The from-scratch batter produces the most beautifully tender and the most properly moist individual crumb.
