Can you use 8 or 9 inch pans?
Can I purée strawberries instead of adding as slices? I make a strawberry layer cake that takes strawberries puréed and its so pretty when you cut into it.
Help!!!! My cake is super wet. The strawberries in my cake will not dry up and it’s been in the over for over 2 hours. What do I do?!
I’m sorry, but I don’t know what to tell you. I haven’t had any issues with this cake, so I’m not sure what could have gone wrong. It definitely shouldn’t take over 2 hours to bake.
Do you know how to adjust this for a higher altitude of over 5,000’? I’ve found since moving to a higher place nothing I bake turns out well.
Did you use butter milk or sweet milk?
I used regular whole milk not buttermilk
You could use fresh strawberries 2 cups with 1 cup sugar added; slice the fresh strawberries and mix in the sugar and let stand in a cold refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours until the strawberries create their own juice and soften up.Nothing tastes better than fresh! But make sure they are nice and ripe and you wash and dry them before slicing in a bowl. Save some extra for topping the sliced cake with fresh whipped cream! Yummiest!
Can you tell me how many strawberries to cut up and how much sugar to use pls? My grocery store does not carry the frozen container. ☹️
I’m not sure – did you check Target & Walmart for the strawberries? They carry them where I live.
There is no reason not to use Fresh Strawberries if you can find beautiful ripe strawberries just do this; 2 cups fruit to 1 cup sugar.Slice washed,dried cleaned of any imperfections into a glass bowl, add sugar and let stand for 3 or 4 hours in a refrigerator until the strawberries have created lots of its own natural juice. Because you are baking this cake at a much lower temperature this should stop your strawberries from turning brown which can happen with fresh strawberries. They need to be super fresh and cut a little thicker so don't be afraid to cut them at 1/2"intervals. Make sure you make a separate batch to serve with the cake and some fresh whipped cream! Yummy!
Can you tell me If the jello is in Crystal form and do you make the jello up or just add the crystals to the mixture. In uk we have jello in 2 forms,gelatine blocks and crystals,both makeup with hot water.
You just use the crystals, you don't use water and make the jello. This is what I used: https://amzn.to/2MMj2HZ
Do you drain the strawberries or use all the juice too? This sounds delicious!
I did not drain the strawberries. I used all the juice too.
Thank you!
Yum! Can’t wait to bake this strawberry pound cake!
