Strawberry Upside Down Cake

| Filed Under: Dessert, Recipes, Summer Fun

Ok, here is a great little recipe for ya’ll if you are in need of something easy and delish for the upcoming long weekend we are about to have here…July 4th, anyone!! This was a recipe I did as a guest post for Leca at Leca Unplugged…it’s a winner in my book and super easy to make so I thought I’d re-post it on the ‘ol blog in case some of you missed me over there. It’s a Strawberry Upside Down Cake, sounds good, right?
 
Here, let me give you a little sneak peak at what I’m talking about:
Looks good, huh?
 
Ok, so here’s the recipe…enjoy it and love it like I do!
Strawberry Upside Down Cake

  5. Bake in for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  8. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ok, so first grab your fresh strawberries (about 4 cups-ish gives you 2 cups mashed)…

and mash ’em up real good, like so!!

Pour them into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
Then, sprinkle your jell-o powder on top.

Next, sprinkle your miniature marshmallows on top of that…

Then, pour your yellow cake batter on top of that layer…whew, we’re really doing the layers…your still with me, right!
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes…

Pull it out of your oven when it looks like this, all nice and golden-y brown.
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes and then take a knife around the edges just to make sure it’s nice and loose.

Flip it out onto a serving dish…or if you’re like me and just want to dig into all this deliciousness ASAP just use whatever is closest, in my case a jelly roll pan 🙂

Cut that baby up and serve with some yummy vanilla ice cream (or homemade whipped cream…double yum!)!
Happy July 4th Weekend Everyone!!
 
Be Safe!!

    Since I am allergic to strawberries (yes, cry for me) I bet I could use rhubarb, eh?

    BTW did the bubbles AND the cornstarch quicksand w/ the kids…LOVED IT! You’re so awesomely awesome.

    Adding this to my list of recipes to try. I am wondering how “cakey” the cake is. My husband tends to shy away from really cakey things, but the pictures make it look like it doesn’t turn out quite like a cake does….

    @bcriminger-I don’t think this is super cakey…try it!! It’s perfect for summer!!

    Do you think using this recipe with Blue berries would work and just use blueberry jello (if they make it ) would work?

      Oh yes, I think that would totally work…and be delicious! Let me know how it turns out if you make it!
      Love,
      Maggie
