By far, the best strawberry cake I've ever tasted! Definitely adding this one to my all-time favorite recipes. Enjoy!

Strawberry Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 (18.25 oz) Duncan Hines white cake mix
3 large eggs
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup oil
*Baker's Joy cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325ยบ. Cut parchment paper to line the bottom of two 8" pans and place inside. Spray both pans with Baker's joy and set aside. If you don't have Bakers Joy, spray the pans, then lightly "dust" them with flour. This will prevent the cakes from sticking to the pan. Do not omit this step!
2. In a large bowl, beat all ingredients together on medium speed until there are no more lumps. (Batter will be thick). Divide batter evenly between both pans. Pound pans 5-10 times on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 30-35 minutes (longer, if necessary) until the cake springs back when touched. Insert a toothpick in the center - if it comes out clean, the cakes are done!
3. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Cool in the pans for at least 15 minutes, then turn out on a cooling rack and cool completely before frosting (otherwise frosting will melt!).
