Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer to blend everything until just combined. I usually beat it for about two minutes until the batter looks smooth and lovely. It will smell incredibly sweet and inviting! Once that’s done, fold in the diced strawberries gently so they’re evenly distributed without crushing them. This step is important to maintain those vibrant little bursts of flavor!
