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!
Now that we are all smart and on top of things go about your regular duties today as long as it includes this cake. Life will be better with this cake. I promise!

best cake ever !!!
Wahoooo!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I made this the other day and yes the middle was hard to get done but I also noticed when I took out of oven there was a lot of liquid in the bottom of pan so I let it cool completely and the put in the refrigerator to let the jello set took it out and it turned out beautiful when I flipped it over just a helpful hint…..
So interesting that happened because I’ve never experienced that! Glad it turned out ok in the end!
Can you use frozen strawberries that ain’t in syrup
I think this would work fine. I would make sure to thaw them.
Would this work in a bundt pan?
I’m sorry Cathy I haven’t tried it that way!
I tried it in a bundt, I cooked it a bit longer, about an hour. Came out great, but it is a very full bundt pan I cooked it on top of a cookie sheet just in case it baked over…it didn’t but it bubbled a bit while cooking so I was glad I’d added the pan for saint’s sake
Thanks for letting us know this Jacki!
I just made it I hope it turns out okay
Hope you enjoyed it Shirley!
I made this cake. I aeeume it must be refrigerated?
I would recommend it!
I love this recipe but I never thought about using strawberry cake mix, yum! I love the pan you are using, do you remember the brand?
I think I got it at Target!
Strawberry Upside Cake is so easy to make and delicious! My family ate the first cake. Going to make again and surprise everyone at work! Love your website! Great ideas and recipes!
Love this!!
It’s in the oven now, smells so good!
Hope it’s delicious!
64 carbs for one piece don’t guess I will be eating any of it but I may make it for those that don;t watch their carbs
do you mix the strawberry jello first or use the powered mix ?
Just the powdered mix!
Can you use white cake mix instead of strawberry?
Yes it just won’t be quite as much “strawberry flavor”.
How long does it need to be refrigerated before serving?
I would guess about a hour!
I forgot the marshmallows….will that affect the results?
Yes that is an ingredient so it’s necessary.
Do you have to use any type of baking spray so cake does not stick.
Do you need to grease the pan before putting in the crushed strawberries
Can you make this a day ahead of serving?
I can only find a 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix. Is the 18.25 correct on the recipe?
Thanks!
