I'm itching to try the Cake Mix Doctor's strawberry cake, the one with the strawberry jello added. Unfortunately, I don't have in jello in the house. I read one post that said the jello was for flavor and the sugar added tenderness. Could I substitute some strawberry extract and granulated sugar, you think?

Also, anyone know whether this cake would work well stacked? I'm thinking about doing a topsy turvy for Valentine's Day and would like it to be strawberry.

I don't know your answer. But when I try a recipe for the first(like tonight ) I usually do it by the book so to speak. Then I tweak from there. I want to get a feel for the recipe first and then add my twist. Tonight I am trying the famous White almond sour cream cake. Ok I tweaked a tad icon_redface.gif Instead of total egg whites I did whole eggs( I'm bad) I did say usaully icon_razz.gif So sorry I can't help but hers a bump at least.
