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 says
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 says
You can slice them if it makes it easier! Either way will work!
