1cupWaterRoom temperature.
1/3cupVegetable OilOr canola oil, measured accurately for texture.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed until well mixed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, top with whipped cream and more fresh strawberries before serving.
Notes
For extra strawberry flavor, reserve a few slices to press gently into the batter’s surface before baking.
