Make This Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 Eggland's Best eggs, large

- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3oz. package strawberry Jell-O, cooked according to package
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; prepare two 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray, or grease with shortening and cover with flour (tapping excess flour out of the pans).
- In a medium-size bowl, mix flour and baking powder; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand-held electric mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Fold 1 1/2 cups of flour mixture in by hand, using a rubber spatula; blend well.
- Add milk and vanilla, stirring until thoroughly.
- Fold in remaining flour mixture and mix until all ingredients are well blended.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove from oven when done and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- While cake is cooling, prepare Jell-o according to instructions on box and set aside.
- Randomly poke holes in each cake and pour Jell-o evenly over both cakes.
