I have not, just used the white cake mix out of habit. If I did, I think I would leave out the jello though, to not over do the strawberry flavor…

Have you ever tried using a strawberry cake mix? Was there a difference?

There is no doubt that this is one of the easiest decadent cakes there is. Hope you enjoy it!

For a good release from the bottom, try cutting a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan. Grease the pan, drop in the parchment paper, pour your cake on top of that. When the cake is done, let it cool a little bit, run a knife around the sides, then turn it upside down. It should fall right out. Then peel the parchment paper off the cake.

Yes, I only use a baking spray with flour in it to grease pans. I prefer PAM for baking. I have always had wonderful results with it. If you don’t care for sprays, use shortening and then dust it with flour. But I am a PAM fan.

I’ve made this cake twice and it is fantastic! I particularly love the frosting; its such a nice, light texture, and has a very subtle flavor.

I just have one problem with the cake: I cannot seem to get them out of the pans without them falling apart! The bottom of each layer gets stuck to the pan. The first time I greased my non-stick pans with butter, and this time I lined the same pans with canola oil, with the same cake-falling-apart results.

This doesn’t seem to happen when I make other out-of-box cakes–does anyone have an suggestions? Thanks!

Looks good! I’ve tossed a package of chocolate jello pudding mix in a box cake mix before b/c I’m not a fan of plain box mix cakes, but never thought of doing a fruit cake! This sounds great, thanks!
