Strawberry Daiquiri Cake with Honey Buttercream Icing

A yellow cake mix is my best friend when it comes to baking!  You can turn it into just about any flavor you want!  That is what I did tonight when I made this Strawberry Daiquiri Cake:

Ingredients:

~1 Box Yellow Cake Mix (I recommend Duncan Hines Moist and Delicious)

~1 Small Box Strawberry Jell-O

~4 Eggs

~1/2 cup Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil

~Either 1/2 cup Gold Rum and 1/2 Strawberry Daiquiri Mix OR 1 cup Strawberry Daiquiri Mix (if you'd prefer not use alcohol)...I've made it both ways and either is delicious!

Mix all ingredients and bake according to the package directions.  Set aside to let it cool before making the icing.

Honey Buttercream Icing

Ingredients:

~1 1/2 lbs Confectioner Sugar

~1 1/2 sticks of softened Butter

~1/2 block of softened Cream Cheese

~1/4 cup Organic Honey 

In a stand mixer blend softened butter and cream cheese until fluffy.  Slowly add about a cup of confectioner sugar.  Add 1/2 of the honey, then more sugar.  Add the rest of the honey, and then continue to slowly add the sugar until you get the desired consistency.  If you feel the icing is too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream to thin it out.  Spread onto cooled cake and enjoy!

I recommend you garnish with fresh strawberries, but I forgot to buy them at the store...it was still delicious without them though.
