Mash frozen strawberries in pie plate with a potato masher; sprinkle with granulated sugar and water. Allow to sit, stirring occasionally to make juicy while preparing cake.

Bake white cake according to package directions.

Make icing by combining confectioner's sugar and Cool Whip.

After cake cools, turn layer out of pan onto cake dish with bottom side up. Spoon strawberry juice onto cake allowing juice to seep into cake. Add layer of strawberries. After this spoon icing in globs over layer and smooth gently, being careful not push off the strawberries. Add second layer and the strawberries and juice again. Smooth icing on sides of cake, leaving remainder for top. Refrigerate. Makes a lovely, light cake.
