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!

Can you use frozen strawberries?
Yes I think if you thaw them and then crush them that would work fine.
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.
2 – 3oz boxes
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.
I’m sorry you had issues. I’ve made this multiple times and never had any problem.
Mine to edges where done not the middle
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!!!
Oh no! I’ve never had it fail and I’ve made it many of times!
to the lady that asked about making cupcakes, l have individual upside down pineapple cake pans could those be used for cupcakes
ps if ur wondering were l got those individual pans l think it was PCH ? publishers clearing houise
Is that 2 boxes of jello? Is it 2 cups of crushed berries? Measuring whole berries in 2 cups would not be enough berries, I don’t think.
Please fallow the directions in the recipe box above!
So it has to be kept I. The refrigerator once it’s done ?
It just keeps better when refrigerated!
Do I spray non stick in pan before adding everything? Thank you
Never hurts!
Should the pan be prepped like you would for a regular cake? Grease & flour?
Never hurts!
I don’t see any reason to flip it out decorate with a few fresh strawberries in the middle, I would frost with cool whip as well.. looks delicious!
Sounds like a great way to enjoy it!
Do you grease the pan?
Yes great the pan.
Only grease or flour too? This want make it taste different? How did you do yours? Looks perfect!! 😃
Grease 🙂
? Do you do either? Or both? Or neither
Do you absolutely have to refrigerate the cake?
No I don’t think so it just keeps better.
Noticed it’s a 18.25 oz cake mix. I’m only seeing 15.25. Is it a typing error or does somebody make an 18.25 oz
I think they changed them. A 15.25 oz works too! I’ve made it like that 🙂
Can u use a bundt cake pan
Sorry Joanna I haven’t tested it like that!
