It's super easy - everything gets mixed together, no creaming butter and sugar, and used fresh strawberries. Layer the cake with a strawberry cream mix and this cake will be perfect when served at your next afternoon tea.
Preheat the Oven to 180 degrees celsius (or 160 degrees fan bake). Spray three 22cm cake pans with butter and line with baking paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix all cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low until just combined. Scrape the side of the bowl, and increase mixer to medium and beat for 3 minutes.
Pour cake batter into prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean, about 20-23 minutes.
Notes
Vanilla Cake Mix from Aldi - an excellent cake mix for the price.
I used Aldi's White Mill Vanilla Cake mix in this recipe. It doesn't contain icing in the pack, just cake. You will need to check the weight of your cake mix packet but total weight of just mix and no icing is 380g.
The packet of jelly crystals I had at home were colour free strawberry ones. If you want a pinker coloured cake, just use regular jelly crystals.
If you don't have three cake tins the same size, just separate the mix between two tins and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean.
Frost the cake with fresh whipped cream mixed with pureed strawberries.
