Description

This Strawberry Upside Down Cake is a vibrant and easy dessert made with strawberries, strawberry gelatin, marshmallows, and white cake mix. Perfect for summer gatherings or anytime indulgence.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 (3 oz) package strawberry gelatin (dry)
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients required to prepare the batter as per package instructions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the white cake mix batter according to the package instructions and set it aside.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Evenly spread the chopped strawberries across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry strawberry gelatin evenly over the strawberries.
  4. Distribute the mini marshmallows evenly over the gelatin layer.
  5. Pour the prepared cake batter over the marshmallows, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen it.
  8. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving tray. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use thawed and well-drained frozen strawberries if fresh are not available.
  • Experiment with different gelatin or cake mix flavors for variety.
  • Let the cake cool before inverting to prevent breaking.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
