Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 8 inch round pans.

Mix cake mix, oil, water, and eggs until fully incorporated. Pour into prepared cake pans.
-
Bake for 25-28 minutes or until middles spring back when pressed.
-
Cool in pans for 10 minutes and then invert on wire racks to continue cooling.
Strawberry Filling
-
While cake is baking, combine chopped strawberries and sugar. Set aside while cake bakes and cools. Strawberries will break down and create liquid.
