I gave this recipe 5 stars. I made this recipe for Spring 2009 PAC. Yummo! This is so, so, good! I thought it tasted just like it was made from a store bought cake. This was so easy to make! I wish my pictures would have looked better as this looked great! I wasn't sure about the amounts listed in the ingredients as it calls for 1 tsp and 1/2 tsp baking soda but in the directions it call for baking soda and powder, so I added 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda. I used Splenda for baking for the sugar. I also couldn't find any 8oz gelatins so I used 2 boxes of sugar free strawberry gelatin. I used frozen strawberries, which I thawed in the microwave. I baked this in a 13x9x2-inch pan for 35 minutes. Overall I will so make this again for sure! Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe! Christine (internetnut)

Im a teen who loves to bake! most of the stuff i bake i try to give away because of my basetball season, i dont like to eat too many sweets. However, i taste individual things and then give them to my father to taste for his much desired criticism or praise.
