I perked up when I first read this neat recipe. Since my husband and I are muffin people, I was inspired by this recipe to make strawberry muffins through a modified version of this recipe. I had to do some adjusting: I hadn't white cake mix so I used a simple white cake recipe (following all the mixing and ingredient listed) and nixed the eggs, oil and water suggested by the Inez's recipe, but added to the white cake recipe the strawberry jell-o & thawed strawberries to the mix. I followed Inez's baking temp. and time. It yielded 12 muffins. I topped them off with the frosting. They tasted good. I can understand why kids would like them, with the fun pink colour. -
This was great! I'll be making this often. Thanks for the recipe! -
I had this recipe years ago and lost it, so I was delighted to find it here. Strawberry cake is a favorite of my family, so I made this for my son's birthday. It was moist and delicious, loaded with strawberry flavor. It refrigerates well, and keeps for several days. -
Very Good! I addded a few squirts of whipcream to each edge for a decorative touch... and a happy face to my daughters, she was thrilled!

We've had this cake recipe in my family for as long as I can remember! It's delicious! I see a lot of people saying they didn't use the frosting recipe, and trust me, you absolutely want to make the frosting!! Yum!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the ingredients listed, but this cake was a huge hit with the family, and it is delicious! I did substitute half the oil with unsweetened applesauce (I might try 3/4ths next time), and because I intended to serve the cake from the baking dish, I only made half the frosting recipe---which was still an ample amount. This recipe is very easy, and is good for when you are short on time---which I was yesterday. I used an 8x12-inch baking dish, and baked the cake about 10 minutes longer than directed. I must live in a cooking-utensil-challenged area (lol), because in addition to my fruitless search for a 7x11-in. pan, I also cannot locate a 9x12-inch pan. Yes, this cake is sweet---but aren't desserts supposed to be? -
The great thing about this cake is that it is soooo good and didn't call for andy any ingredients that I didn't already have on hand. I used fresh strawberries instead of frozen and made an 8" round two-layer cake. This did make the cooking time a little longer. Also, I was expecting the icing to have a firmer texture like buttercream, but it did not. If I had known, I probably would have made it in the 12X9 pan that the recipe calls for.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
