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.
I inhaled it, then promptly sent his wife a Facebook message for the 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 you could make it for yourself, inhale it all and I won’t tell anyone. No judgement here people!
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!
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!

The recipe calls for 2 c. strawberries, crushed, and then the directions say to “take the 2 c. strawberries and crush them.” I’m confused 🙂
Should it be 2 c. whole strawberries, 2 c. crushed strawberries, 2 c. sliced strawberries ? And in the directions do you crush the strawberries if they’re not already crushed ? Hope I’m making sense.
2 c. strawberries makes for a greater difference in quantity than 2 c. crushed strawberries.
thanks !
daphine vernon
this could be used with any flavor, couldn’t it? rasberry, blueberry, etc.
Julie Evink
I’m sure you can use any flavor!
Jeanne
If you can’t find Strawberry cake mix just add another pkg. of Strawberry Jello to cake mix when preparing.
Julie Evink
Thanks for the tip Jeanne!

I am not much of a cook or baker, but I made this last night. It turned out perfectly, and it tastes fantastic. I’m so happy I discovered your site, and I have several other recipes I want to try.
Julie Evink
Glad to hear it was a success Carolyn!
Pamela Johnson

Julie Evink
Hope you enjoyed it Angela!
Sandy
Do you have to grease the pan?
Julie Evink
No you don’t have too.
Sandy
Thank you so much. I plan to make this for my daughter-in-laws birthday in June. She LOVES strawberries.

I live in Florida and the Florida strawberries are in season now. Thought I’d make this recipe with some I had just bought. I didn’t have a regular cake mix, so I decided to improvise and used a box of Angel Food cake. DO NOT DO THAT, it will not end well. I had seen this with pineapple and figured one fruit was as good as another, but it was a disaster. I was SOOOO glad I had a lined baking sheet under it. I will try again with the correct type of cake mix and hope for better results
Gee
Sorry, I’m a little confused. Do you slice the strawberries before you mash them? I hope this doesn’t sound like a dumb questions. It just seems to me that mashing whole berries would be hard.
Anyway, please somebody respond asap.
Thanks,
Gee
Julie Evink
You can slice them if it makes it easier! Either way will work!
Cathy Bishop
I’miss a little concerned about baking a cake in an ungreased pan. Won’t it stick?
