Strawberry Jello Pound Cake

"This is a variation of a Lemon Jello Pound Cake I found on another recipe site. I'm experimenting with cake decorating/sculpting, and it carves rather nicely. It called for lemon jello instead of strawberry, lemon extract instead of vanilla, and apricot nectar instead of orange juice. I will continue to experiment with different flavors of jello, extracts, and juices. I would like to encourage you to do the same and post your variations in your reviews. NOTE: For my purposes, I used cupcake tins for my layers, so I've set the servings accordingly. UPDATE: Originally, I posted this with orange juice instead of strawberry-banana nectar, so the first 2 reviews reflect that. I have since tried strawberry-banana nectar, and I like it much better for the strawberry flavor. If you want to try what's been reviewed or can't find the nectar, try the OJ. It's just got a little bite to it where the nectar is a more mellow flavor."

  1. This was a really interesting and different flavored cake. I love pound cake and all of it's variations. I used black cherry jello with orange juice. It made the cake and interesting mauve color. It had a nice little twang from the oj. It was super easy to do. It baked up perfectly. I made it in a Bundt pan and it took about 38 minutes. I dusted it with powdered sugar before serving. It was gone in 1 day!
     
  2. Very good recipe. I made a double batch. It was the exact and perfect combination of strawberry and orange flavoring. We alllovedit, and will make it again.
