Get baking!
First, put all of your materials down somewhere they are not able to be knocked down. Next, you must prepare your mold. Take the butter and with a spoon cover all of the inside of your mold in a layer of butter. After your mold is covered, take some flour and pour it in the bowl with butter. Make sure the flour covers the layer of butter. Take off all of the butter that did not stick on to the sides and dump it off the mold. You should have the inside of your mold covered in a thin layer of butter with a thin layer of four on top of the butter. Put your mold aside. Put away flour. Put your butter to the side.
Next, pre-heat your oven to the instructions on the back of your cake mix box. Next take your mixing bowl and place it on a flat surface in your kitchen away from your other materials. Open up your cake mix and the bag that is inside of your cake mix box. Pour the contents of the cake mix bag into your mixing bowl.
After, crack the eggs one by one and put the yolk and egg whites of the egg in the bowl with the cake mix and throw away the shells. Add a table spoon of butter and one cup of milk. Plug in your mixer electronic mixer (if you are using one) and place the whisk of the mixer in the bowl. Also add a table spoon of vanilla extract. Start your mixer on low. As you are mixing, if the mix looks too dry, add more milk or water into the mix, slowly to make sure you do not place too much.
Once the mix is liquid batter, turn off taste the a little bit of the mix to make sure that it tastes all right. Fix if needed. Once you are done fixing it, you may cut up some of the strawberries in little cubes and put it into the batter. Once it is ready to be baked, place the bowl down and get the molding for the cake. Pour the batter into the molding for the cake. You may also use your spoon to put it in.
Once your molding is full of batter, carefully place it in your oven. Then wait until the cake is a golden brown. Once it is that color take your knife and puncture the cake with the whole blade. If you take out the blade and it comes out clean, your cake is ready! Let it cool in the oven for a few minutes so that it does not flatten.
Once you have let it cool off, take your cake out of the oven and place it on a flat surface. Trim off the top of the cake with your knife, just a few inches, so it is flat. Wash and dry your knife. Lastly, you decorate! Carefully, with your spreading spatula, Scoop some icing onto the top of your cake. Spread all over the sides neatly and evenly. Once your cake is completely covered with icing, place your strawberries on to of your cake for decoration. Voila!
Now, you have your perfectly delicious cake, ready to eat! It may not be absolutely perfect, but baking does take practice, so don't be discouraged! Everyone takes time to learn. Now that you know how to bake, you have saved money, had fun and learned something new! Have fun with your baking and good luck!
