Ingredients

1
box yellow cake mix
4
large eggs
3/4
cup vegetable oil
3
oz. packet of strawberry Jell-O
4
cups confectioner’s sugar
2
Tablespoons strawberry Kool-Aid
1
cup water
1/2
cup finely chopped NC Strawberries
3
Tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Spray miniature muffin tins with cooking spray.  Combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and strawberry Jell-O with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each muffin tin half way full.

Bake for 12 minutes.  Turn out onto a cloth or cooling rack.

While cakes are cooling, make your icing.  Mix the Kool-Aid with 1 cup of water.  Add to the confectionary sugar.  Add oil and strawberries.  Stir until smooth.

Dip the top of each cake into the icing or drizzle with the glaze.  Let glaze set.
