Ingredients-

  • 1-1/3 cups freshly crushed strawberries
  • 6 ounce or 2/3 package of gelatine mix with a strawberry flavor
  • 2 cups of miniature marshmallows
  • 18 ounce or 2/3 package of cake mix (yellow), prepare the batter as per the directions on the package

Preparation –

  • Oven needs to be preheated to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.
  • Grease a
    baking pan of 9×13 inch
  • Spread the crushed strawberries over the bottom of the greased baking pan. (I use a Bundt pan as I like the look of the cake that way)
  • Strawberries should be evenly sprinkled with the strawberry flavored gelatin powder that is dry then top it with the mini marshmallows.
  • Use the directions provided on the package to prepare your cake batter and pour the batter over the top of the mini marshmallows
  • Bake in the preheated oven for nearly 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted into the centre and it comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  • Use a knife to loosen the cake from sides from the pan and turn out the cake carefully onto a serving tray.
  • Put the cake in to a refrigerator for few hours so that the cake can set
  • Serve the cake once it has set
