With Sweet Tea!

Welcome to With Sweet Tea! Hey y'all! I am so incredibly glad you dropped by. Most of the dishes you'll find here are authentic Southern recipes that have been lovingly handed down through my family for generations. For a while now, a few sweet folks on Facebook have been begging me to start sharing them online. I always meant to get around to it, but it wasn't until my grandbabies asked me to write down all my recipes that I knew I had to finally sit down and make this blog a reality. Keepin' It Real & Simple. Now, please don’t expect anything fancy around here! I’m just a down-home Southern cook who was taught everything I know by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of before, while others might be completely new to your kitchen. Either way, my biggest hope is that you find something here that you and your family just absolutely love. If you do find a recipe that hits the spot, please leave me a comment or drop me a line! I have always loved hearing from my readers, and your messages truly make my day. A Quick Note on How I Cook (The "Eyeball" Method)I have a little confession to make: I am one of those cooks who never measures anything. I have made these dishes so many times that I can tell exactly how much to use just by looking at it. If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, I’m not going to pull out a measuring cup—I’m just going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me! Because I want you to find success in your own kitchen, I am trying my absolute best to convert my everyday cooking into exact measurements for you. But please don't stress over it! As long as you follow along somewhat closely, you won't mess it up. Let's Get Cooking! Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun in the kitchen! I love y'all, and Jesus does too.

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!
