So glad you’re feeling better – it’s no fun when the mama is sick as there’s nobody left to take care of her!
I hope everyone feels better! This cake looks fabulous!! Wishing I had a slice right now! 🙂
I think that gorgeous cake would solve just about any problem!! Pinned!
Jaren that is terrible! My husband had the flu a few weeks ago and it hit him so hard, so fast! Luckily I have felt okay since then, I promise I want no part of that mess! Hopefully your kiddos stay well too! This cake looks like the perfect medicine!
Love everything about this, espeically the name!
Aww hope you are feeling better! I was totally kicking myself for not getting my 1 year old a flu shot this year…his first year in day care. Needless to say, we ALL had the flu in a matter of weeks. This cake looks delicious, love all those fresh strawberries!
Jaren, I’m so sorry you have been so sick (and your kids too)! I hope you are feeling better and can eat lots of strawberry cake to get you back on your feet.
Jaren!! I’m making this for my daughter’s birthday this weekend! When you say containers of sliced sweetened strawberries, do you mean frozen ones? I don’t know if I’ve ever bought anything like that. I’m so excited to make it!
Yay!! Yes get the frozen kind! Hope you love it!!
When you say juice. What kind of juice are you talking about for the recipe?
Hi M’ario! Use all the strawberries and the juice that comes in the container with them. In other words, don’t drain them 🙂
Two questions about this fabulous cake.
1. Will this cake still be as good if it is served the sane day it’s made? I have an office Christmas dinner tomorrow evening and failed to get this cake made today. I’ve bragged on this cake since my niece made it for my birthday back in August so everybody is excited to try it tomorrow evening.
2. What can I use instead of the jello as I’m a strict vegetarian?
Thank you!
Hi Carolyn! Sorry for the delayed reply. I know you already had your Christmas party, but to answer your question, I would think it would be fine to make the morning of as well. I would just omit the jello if you don’t like to have it due to your diet. It just gives the cake a more dense texture and amps up the strawberry flavor. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for your reply. Yes, we’re returning hone now from the dinner. I thought I should use a gelatin free type ingredient to keep the texture but if you think it would be fine without any type of gel substance I will omit it from the recipe.
Thanks again!
Hi there! This cake looks AMAZING!!!! How many people do you think it will feed? Thank you!
Hi Kim!! It makes about 15 servings. Thanks for visiting!
Its so delicious Jaren. Such a mouth watering recipe. thanks a lot for sharing.
Im planning on making my own Strawberry buttercream frosting. Will that work just as well for this cake?
Hi Christina! Yes, I think that would be good. The one in the recipe is a cream cheese icing.
I’ve made this cake so many times and it’s soooo good! But it sinks in the middle every time I make it 😟 I’m not sure what I am doing wrong!
Mine sinks a little. It’s got a lot in there. Glad you like it!
how to make strawberry cake with extra moist cake mix with jello in the recipe. can’t find cake mix without pudding in the box
Hi Norma,
I’m not sure I understand your question. If you can only find strawberry cake mix with pudding in the mix, that is fine. You will also need to add the box of jello.
OHMYGOSH!!! I used to have this very recipe years and years ago, but lost it. I’ve been searching for it ever since. I just knew it as strawberry cake and found it in a church cookbook. I’m so glad to have found it again. Thanks!
Yay Trudy!! Love it when that happens and I love this cake!
Can I use fresh sliced strawberries? Anything I would need to do to “sweeten” them?
Yes, you sure can. I would just add some sugar to sweeten them .
How did you get so much juice from the strawberries?
I use frozen sliced strawberries and did not get that much juice.
Thank Christie
Hi Christie! Did you use sweetened strawberries? I use frozen already sugared strawberries. They have a different consistency than just plain frozen strawberries.
Is the quantity amt of strawberries correct.
2 16 oz pkgs of strawberries which is 32 oz.
U put 3/4 cup which is 6 oz in the batter. That leaves 26 oz of strawberries on top of icing. Just makng sure.
Yes, this is correct. There is a video on the post and you can see that the top is covered in the rest of the strawberries. I love this cake!!
