I made this cake for S's birthday last week. Don't get astonished by thinking why the cake is in triangular shape bcoz I can explain it ;). Due to my impatience I tried to invert the cake before it was totally cool :D. Yeah, you heard me right. What to do, I never baked cakes so much, this is just my second one. But have learnt a lesson not to invert it before its completely cool :). Whatever it might be but we enjoyed having the cake, S liked it very much and we also got a chance to taste the plain one and the cream one too ;). Okay, let me tell you about how I made it. Many of my blogger friends are experts in making cakes and breads and I admire them a lot. So, the step by step images I am putting here may be useful for newbies like me.
Serves - 4-5 or more
Cooking and Preparation Time - 45 mins or more
Ingredients :
Ducan Hines Cake Mix - 1 Strawberry Supreme
(Just follow the instructions on it and make the cake)
Eggs - 3
Oil - 1/3 cup
Cake Pan - 8 inch
For Frosting
Vanilla Instant Pudding - 1 mixed with 1 cup milk and kept aside
Frozen Whipped Cream - 1cup (I used 1/2 cup only)
Strawberries for toppings - 2-3 (optional)
Frozen Strawberries blended and made into a thick juice - 4-5 or more ( I used fresh strawberries)
Method :
- Preheat the oven for 350 C and start preparing the cake mix following the instruction on the box. As it says in a bowl first mix the cake mix powder along with oil and eggs using a whipper.
- Grease the sides of a baking pan (I used 8 inch almost sqaure one) and pour the cake mix paste and place it in the oven baking it for 36-40 mins until its done.
- Check with a tooth pick if its done or not. When the tooth pick comes out clean then the cake is done.
- Remove the pan outside and let it cool for sometime before attempting to invert it.
- After its cool, place a plate or cooling rack on the cake pna and invert it so that the cake falls on it perfectly.
- Then, with a spoon cut 1 inch apart on the cake. Pour the strawberry juice we made so that it nicely absrorbs till the bottom.
- Then, take the mixture(frosting) we made out of whipped cream and pudding and apply nicely on the cake evenly.
- Lastly top it sliced strawberries if like.
- Refrigerate it for atleast 4 hrs before serving.
