#883 - Strawberry Daiquiri Cake

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist white cake mix
3/4 cup cold water
1 envelope strawberry flavored (unsweetened) Kool-Aid
3/4 tsp. rum extract
1 TBSP lime peel
1 - 10oz. bag frozen sliced strawberries (thawed but do NOT drain)
8 whole strawberries
1 - 12oz. Betty Crocker vanilla frosting (or make your own)
2 eggs

In a mixer add cake mix, water, dry strawberry Kool-Aid powder, eggs--beat. Add lime peel, rum extract--beat. Add sliced strawberries and their juice--beat. Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan--pour batter into cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Let cake completely cool. Frost the cake with the ready-made frosting (or make your own). Refrigerate. Slice the whole strawberries and arrange on top just before serving (or the strawberry juice will get all over the frosting).
