Strawberry Cake

           *NOTE* This is not a "same day" cake. The strawberries need time to set.

This is one cake that's easy to do and my family devours it. I bet yours will too.

Ingredients

1 box of strawberry cake mix. Any brand.

1 small box of strawberry Jello.

1 Pint of fresh strawberries sliced

1 box of powdered sugar

1 cup of cooking oil.

1 cup of milk

4 whole eggs

1 stick of butter.

Wash and slice your strawberries. Layer them in a bowl with some powdered sugar. (Roughly a cup to a cup and a half.) You want to make sure your strawberries are well coated. Put a tight lid on the bowl and stick these in the fridge overnight. Shake your bowl a few times to get the strawberries well-coated. I usually give mine a good shake each time I open my fridge for something.

The next day we are ready to bake this cake!

Mix together the cake mix and jello powder.

Add the eggs, cooking oil, milk, and 1 cup of your strawberries and juice mixing well.

Pour this into a 9 x13 pan and bake at 325

Take your bowl of soaked strawberries and add one stick of melted butter and the rest of the box of powdered sugar. Stir well.

Once your cake is done. Poke holes into the top of the cake and pour on your strawberry mixture.

Your cake is ready to enjoy!

Coca Cola Cake

 This cake recipe has been floating around the internet for years.  I finally took a look at it. I had to switch it up some but, I really liked it. My family loved it. I am going to give you my version here. But for the original one just google Coca-Cola cake. The original cake calls for a spread on frosting but, I prefer a pour on chocolate. I love the way it seeps into the cake and puddles up around the edges.

1 cup of room temperature coca cola

1/2 cup of oil

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

2 cups of sugar

2 cups of self-rising flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 bag of milk chocolate chips

Frosting

1 stick of butter

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

3 cups of powdered sugar

1/2 cup of coca-cola

In a saucepan mix coca-cola, oil, butter, and cocoa powder and bring to a boil. In another bowl mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Pour the boiling mixture over the flour mixture and beat well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla and beat well. Pour mixture into a greased and floured 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.

While the cake is baking. Add all of the frosting ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then set aside.

When the cake is done, sprinkle chips onto the hot cake. and pour chocolate over the top.
