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!

I make a similar cake but use 4 c. sliced rhubarb and ic. sugar instead of strawberries. The rest is made the same. If you like rhubarb this is delicious also.
That sounds delicious!
Cant wait to try the Strawberry Upside down cake. Never used marshmellows and jello together in the oven so I am super curious how it turns out!
You won’t regret it!
This came has just been put in the oven, can’t wait to take it to my family gathering tonight for everyone to try! It looks DEVINE!!!
I hope you all enjoy it!
Has anyone just not flipped it and left it in the pan and just top with cool whip and strawberries? I’m reading comments that some have the problem of it not flipping out. Any thoughts? Also I wanted to just cut up strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and let them sit over night then crush them the next day. Would that be ok?
Hi Laura – If you didn’t want to flip the cake out, I think that would be fine. I also think your strawberry idea would work fine too! Sounds like a good way to use up some fresh strawberries!
First I want to say you are so patient and sweet after getting asked the same question 10 or 15 times I would probably be a bit snappy and tell them to look at the comments / questions and you will easily find the answer. Now the cake I followed the recipe and it came out great and it looks very lovely also. It has a little bit of a tart taste which makes it even better. My husband really liked it and he is very picky. Thank you for sharing the recipe and for being so kind and patient.
Awww thanks Michelle! You’re welcome – I’m so happy you and your husband enjoyed it!
I followed the recipe completely but it did not come out anything like pictured. When I flipped it all the strawberries and jello were on the top and only about 3/4 inch cake on the bottom. It was for my granddaughter to bring back to campus with her today but all I can do is throw it out. I’m so disappointed!
I’m sorry it didn’t turn out for you, what size pan did you use?
Where do you buy strawberry cake mix ,can I substitute with another cake mix, Or can I make my own strawberry cake mix
The grocery store should carry strawberry cake mix – otherwise you could use a white or yellow cake mix, it just won’t have as much strawberry flavor.
