WOW!! I found this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some frozen strawberries so I made this for a casual dinner and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I did increase the marshmallows to a whole package and they gave the bottom of the cake a wonderful gooey texture. LOVE IT!! It was so good served still warm with whipped topping or ice cream!!!

This cake is good but super sweet and that is coming from a sweet lover - rarely is anything too sweet. Anyway, I did cut this in half by using a jiffy cake mix and making it in a 8x8 dish. I will make this again but maybe experiment a bit. Thanks Kitten.

I gave this 5 stars. This cake was awesome! I first want to say I didn't follow the directions completely. My ex sister-inlaw had made a recipe very close to this and I made this to look like hers. I greased my pan, poured the cup of marshmallows on the bottom of the pan, mixed my jello & strawberries together and prepared the cake like directed except I used a butter recipe cake mix. I added the strawberry mix to the cake batter and additional 1 cup of marshmallows and mixed throughly until there were faint signs of batter. I followed the rest of the directions. My ex sister-inlaw served her cooled cake with cool whip and bananas. I served mine with cool whip, remaining strawberries with syrup, and bananas. It was like a kicked up strawberry shortcake. This is so good. I will make this again. Thanks so much for posting a awesome recipe! Christine (internetnut)
