I was introduced to this cake in the following story.
One day I arrived at work. More than likely not in the best mood and still waiting to kill my first cup of coffee. Then in walked a coworker with a piece of cake his wife sent for me. Then my day instantly got better. It was this strawberry upside down cake!
Upside Down Strawberry Cake
I inhaled it, then promptly sent his wife a Facebook message for the strawberry upside down cake recipe. This is the cake. So I encourage you to do the same. While you might not be able to inhale it and then send me a message. I highly encourage you to run to the grocery store, grab the ingredients and make this for your favorite someone or for yourself.
I have no judgement. None at all. You do what you want with this cake. If that means grabbing a fork and sitting down and eating half or all of this upside down strawberry cake then do as you please!
I guess this cake is a standard recipe a lot people know about, but I was not in the “know” about it so now in case you aren’t either I’m letting you get in on the know! It feels good to be in that club doesn’t it? I sometimes feel like I live in my own little bubble!

I followed the recipe completely but it did not come out anything like pictured. When I flipped it all the strawberries and jello were on the top and only about 3/4 inch cake on the bottom. It was for my granddaughter to bring back to campus with her today but all I can do is throw it out. I’m so disappointed!
I’m sorry it didn’t turn out for you, what size pan did you use?
Where do you buy strawberry cake mix ,can I substitute with another cake mix, Or can I make my own strawberry cake mix
The grocery store should carry strawberry cake mix – otherwise you could use a white or yellow cake mix, it just won’t have as much strawberry flavor.
Can you use frozen strawberries
I would just thaw them if you use them!
