Cake:
1 package white cake mix
1 - 3 oz. package strawberry gelatin
1 cup water

In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, gelatin powder, water and oil. Beat on low speed for 1 minute or until moistened; beat on medium for 4 minutes.
In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites and mash strawberries into cake batter. Pour into two greased and floured 8-in. round baking pans.
