Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round pans.
Muddle thawed strawberries in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup for frosting.
Mix white cake mix and gelatin mix together in a bowl. Add strawberries, eggs, oil, and water and beat until well combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl; mix in reserved strawberries and vanilla extract. Beat in powdered sugar until combined.
Sandwich cake layers with frosting; spread remaining frosting over the top and sides.
