Hello guys,

I want a good, sturdy strawberry cake recipe for a 3D cake that I'm doing. If I use the box mix...what all can I add to make it delicious yet dense and stable icon_smile.gif

Thanks in advance

I have not tried it, but I would suggest using the strawberry cake mix with this recipe:

For all of my 3D cake mixes I simply add a box of pudding and an extra egg to my box mix ingredients and it makes a nice dense but moist cake to carve. For a strawberry cake I just use a white box mix, add vanilla pudding, extra egg, and a box of strawberry jello for the flavoring. YUM! HTH!

Ok that surely sounds good! But if I have a Straberry box mix with me...can I add Vanilla pudding, extra egg and strawberry jello it??? Will it come out enough strawberryish or there'll be some some problem with the texture???

Thanks again

If you already have a strawberry box mix, than I would just add the vanilla pudding and the extra egg, the Strawberry jello was just to help if all you had was a white mix. If you want to add a better strawberry kick to your cake I would do it by adding strawberry preserves to the batter. HTH!

I've tried strawberry jello in cake mix and did not love the texture.

I would not suggest using the both the pudding and the jell-o. I did that once with strawberry cake and it was very jiggly and wet. It also bulged out from it's own weight. I don't think mine could have been carved.

Also, I've used jell-o four times in mixes here lately. Two strawberries, orange and raspberry. I did not add pudding to the second straberry, orange or the raspberry. Flavor was good and cake was really moist.
