This Strawberry Wet Cake is fabulous!  It is an old recipe that my mom had.  When she told me about it, I knew I had to try it out.  And boy am I glad I did!  This just might make a chocolate lover think twice about dessert 🙂

    Jaren that is terrible! My husband had the flu a few weeks ago and it hit him so hard, so fast! Luckily I have felt okay since then, I promise I want no part of that mess! Hopefully your kiddos stay well too! This cake looks like the perfect medicine!

    Aww hope you are feeling better! I was totally kicking myself for not getting my 1 year old a flu shot this year…his first year in day care. Needless to say, we ALL had the flu in a matter of weeks. This cake looks delicious, love all those fresh strawberries!

    Jaren!! I’m making this for my daughter’s birthday this weekend! When you say containers of sliced sweetened strawberries, do you mean frozen ones? I don’t know if I’ve ever bought anything like that. I’m so excited to make it!

    When you say juice. What kind of juice are you talking about for the recipe?

      Hi M’ario! Use all the strawberries and the juice that comes in the container with them. In other words, don’t drain them 🙂

    Two questions about this fabulous cake.

    1. Will this cake still be as good if it is served the sane day it’s made? I have an office Christmas dinner tomorrow evening and failed to get this cake made today. I’ve bragged on this cake since my niece made it for my birthday back in August so everybody is excited to try it tomorrow evening.

    2. What can I use instead of the jello as I’m a strict vegetarian?

    Thank you!

      Hi Carolyn! Sorry for the delayed reply. I know you already had your Christmas party, but to answer your question, I would think it would be fine to make the morning of as well. I would just omit the jello if you don’t like to have it due to your diet. It just gives the cake a more dense texture and amps up the strawberry flavor. Have a Merry Christmas!!

        Thank you for your reply. Yes, we’re returning hone now from the dinner. I thought I should use a gelatin free type ingredient to keep the texture but if you think it would be fine without any type of gel substance I will omit it from the recipe.

        Thanks again!

      Hi Christina! Yes, I think that would be good. The one in the recipe is a cream cheese icing.

    I’ve made this cake so many times and it’s soooo good! But it sinks in the middle every time I make it 😟 I’m not sure what I am doing wrong!
