How to Make Strawberry Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a 9x13 inch glass baking pan in the preheated oven.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar over the melted butter.
  4. In a bowl, gently toss 2 cups sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to release juices.
  5. Arrange the strawberries over the brown sugar in the baking pan.
  6. Reserve the strawberry juice.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker Super Moist Butter Recipe yellow cake mix to break up any clumps.
  8. Make a well in the center of the dry mix.
  9. Gradually add 1 cup milk to the well, whisking until the batter is smooth.
  10. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil and whisk until combined.
  11. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  12. Stir in the reserved strawberry juice.
  13. Pour the batter evenly over the strawberries in the pan.
  14. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
  16. Place a serving plate upside down over the baking pan. Carefully invert the pan and plate together to release the cake. The strawberries should be on top.
  17. Drizzle with your favorite syrup (optional) and serve.
