Fresh Strawberry Upside Down Cake
Fresh Strawberry Upside Down Cake
I’m still trying to figure out what the marshmallows are for. *shrugs*
I forget to check to see what type of cake mix I had in the cabinet. It was chocolate, so I made a chocolate version with LF ingredients. I use applesauce in place of the oil and egg beaters instead of eggs.
My strawberries were pretty tart and I used SF Jell-O. So, the strawberry topping was tangy. Not too much so that it was unbearable, but it was not what I was expecting. I should have tasted my strawberries I put all this stuff together. If they’re too tart, you might want to add some sugar. I’d say use regular Jell-O but you’re probably already home and ready to bake it so you won’t be able to use regular Jell-O. LOL
The strawberries and Jell-O make a nice topping for the cake. The picture looks like it’s on angel food cake. I think it would be a good option for this recipe. The chocolate is yummy with it. Regular yellow would be good or even strawberry cake to add to the flavor? But that might be too much strawberry.
I’m still trying to figure out what the marshmallows are for though…
