Recipe for Disaster: Strawberry Pop Cake Click it!

This cake may sound a bit odd when you read they ingredients but, it really is a perfect fun Spring recipe.  A friend recently tried this Floridan/Ohioan Family’s 1950s recipe for her son’s birthday.  It was a hit and quick to make. You might want to give it a try for your Bloomsday BBQ this weekend.

in addition, the toppings on the cake are free for your creative interpretation. i seem to remember red sprinkles when i was younger, cut strawberries now. for 4th of july, you can decorate the cake into a flag with strawberries and blueberries.

We’ve done our 7-Up cake so many times, but never strawberry soda in cake. Genius! Sounds fruity and good.
