I created this recipe using ideas taken from 2 other JAP member so giving credit where credit is due to Jo Anne Sugimoto and Penny R. Hope they like the changes I made.I tweaked it to make it different. I made this when my son came to visit he said it was like an explosion of taste in his mouth. Sorry about the photo it is really a pink color

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour 2-9 in. cake pans. Mix the cake mix, oil, eggs, measure the 2 tea of extract into measuring cup and add enough strawberry juice to equal 1/2 cup for at least 2 minutes until well blended. Bake at 350 for 26 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. While still warm. Poke holes in cake. Mix jello and boiling water until dissolved, Add strawberry soda and gently pour 1/2 over each cake in pans (1 cup per cake layer) let absorb and cool completely then remove from pans (handle carefully as cake will be very moist) When the cake has cooled mix the vanilla frosting,dry koolaid, stick of butter, extract, and powdered sugar until well blended. then frost as you would any layered cake.
