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!

Im making it sunday for Mothers day bbq. Most cake mixes ar 15.25 i hope it works.If its good im going to try banana cake with tropical jello thanks
Julie Evink says
Any size of cake mix should work 🙂 They went and changed the sizes of cake mix… but I’ve made it with the 15.25 oz and it’s worked great!
Donna says
Thanks for the recipe, was very simple to make and got rave reviews from the 18 people I served it to.
Also made one using berry combo of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries….very good also.
Julie Evink says
So glad everyone enjoyed it! Your other twist on this sounds amazing!!
Jill says
Do you need to grease the bottom or sides?
Julie says
You don’t have to but if it makes you feel better you can!
Jackie says
Do you think this would work in a bundt pan? Probably have to adjust the cooking time a bit…?
Julie Evink says
I’ve never tried it but I think it would!
lisa evans says
dont use a bundt pan it will fall apart I tried it
Julie Evink says
Ah man! I’m sorry! Thanks for letting me know.
Mary says
Don’t you have to great the pan? Also, I usually have trouble getting the whole cake out of the pan. Wouldn’t it be better to let it cool completely and then try to remove it?
Mary says
I meant should you Grease the pan?
Julie Evink says
I have made this multiple times as the recipe states and never had a problem but if you want to grease the pan you can. I’d still flip it after 15 minutes. I’ve never tested it cooling longer than that.
Kat says
Julie, I can only find a 15.25 ounce strawberry cake mix. Should I change any of the other ingredients? Thanks, Kat
Julie Evink says
Nope just make it like it states!
Tina says
Will it work without the marshmallows?
Julie Evink says
No that’s one of the main ingredients.
Rachel says
Can I make this cake ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge,? Or will it get soggy?
Julie Evink says
I wouldn’t make it more than 24 hours ahead of time but it will be fine in the fridge for that long!
Stephanie says
How can this be adjusted for cupcakes?
Julie Evink says
I’ve never tried it like that! If you do let me know how it goes!
Darlene Lockrem says
Can you use frozen strawberries?
Julie Evink says
Yes I think if you thaw them and then crush them that would work fine.
Dan M says
I probably should have asked this before making it, but the Jello – is that 2x 3oz boxes, or a 2.3oz box? I just used a 6oz box assuming it was 2x 3oz boxes.
Manuelita Arieta says
I made it and it did not come out like it was supposed to. When I flipped it over it fell apart and the only part of the cake that cooked was the outside. The inside was very mushy and the cake did not cook.
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry you had issues. I’ve made this multiple times and never had any problem.
Rachel says
I made this an followed the instructions to a T and when I flipped it kinda fell apart. It doesn’t look very pretty but it’s still delicious an my husband loved it!!!
Julie Evink says
Oh no! I’ve never had it fail and I’ve made it many of times!
