How to Make Simple Strawberry Cake

  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Spread the macerated strawberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  4. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the strawberries.
  5. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the gelatin.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cake mix, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, water, and oil.
  7. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the strawberry and marshmallow layer in the pan.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving platter. Enjoy!
