A visit with friends and strawberry cake recipe

Friday night we went to visit some friends of ours Matt and Megan.  We go way back with them and have quite the history and it has been a pleasure to see them get engaged, married, and now have 2 sweet children.  We are honored to call them some great friends!

The girls LOVED baby Charlotte (6 months)



Gideon is growing so quickly and is no longer a little boy but a toddler!  He was making us laugh so hard!

This my dear friend Megan...love her!

I made a strawberry cake to take for dessert and I wanted to take pics so I could put in on pinterest so I thought I would share the recipe with you as well!  This is Jay's grandmother's recipe and is my favorite....soooo good!


Grandmother Wicks' Strawberry Cake
1 box white cake mix
2/3 cup oil
4 eggs
3 oz. dry strawberry jello mix
1/2 cup milk
16 oz. frozen strawberries, thawed

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine all ingredients except strawberries.  When mixed, get the strawberries out with slated spoon and save strawberry juice for icing.  Fold in the strawberries and pour into greased 9X13 pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until cooked through and top starts to brown.

ICING:
1 stick butter
strawberry juice (saved from frozen strawberries)
1 1 lb. box powdered sugar (or 3 3/4 cups)

Melt butter and add all other ingredients.  Pour onto warm cake.  Top with fresh strawberries and serve.
