Strawberry Cloud Cake for the Cupcake Queen
My niece Sarah is making cupcakes. Not just any cupcakes but fabulous cupcakes from what I hear. And I haven’t even tasted any….yet. Just heard about them and seen pictures.
I told her I’d share this family favorite I got from my old friend Jane King when my daughter was a little girl and we lived in the DC area…she’s, well, never mind how old she is now!
Strawberry Cloud Cake
2 packages frozen strawberries
3/4 cup strawberry juice
4 eggs
1-3 oz package strawberry Jello
1 white cake mix
1/4 cup oil
Drain thawed strawberries. Measure juice and if necessary add water to make 3/4 cup. Combine cake mix, jello, eggs and beat in mixer for 2 minutes. Add oil and juice and beat for 2 more minutes. Fold in drained berries.
Bake in 2-9″ cake pans at 350 for 35 minutes.
When cool, frost with sweetened whipped cream: beat 1 pint of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 t vanilla until almost stiff… and then beat in 3T sifted confectioners sugar until mixture form stiff peaks.
Makes me want to make this cake just writing out the recipe. Mouthwatering!!
So many ways to be enjoyin’ life!
