I normally make a box cake and add strawberry jello and fresh strawberries using the recipe from cake Dr. It normally burns on the top and hardley raises. Does anyone else have this problem? This is one of my favorite cakes it tastes great when it does rise but any more like I said it doesn't do much of that. TIA

I'm a scratch baker, and I was always unhappy about using artificial stuff (jello etc) in my cakes to get a flavour. I used the scratch version with the jello and had the same problems, I have since found and swapped to this all natural cake which rises beautifully and tastes delicious with a natural, not chemical, strawberry taste.
