For the kiddos Birthdays, I’m always trying out combos. One of our favorites for YEARS is the Chocolate and Strawberry. But, as the years go on, the kiddos and I put our heads together to create a cake, JUST FOR THEM! Frosting flavor/color was picked by the kiddos. They did an amazing job!
Here are some mixes we have tried:
– Strawberry Lemonade:
In two separate bowls!
Bowl #1 Lemon Cake Box w/ LEMONADE to REPLACE WATER it calls for.
Bowl #2 Strawberry Cake Box w/ Strawberry Milk to REPLACE Water
PLUS, 1c Strawberries, Chopped, added to Strawberry Bowl.
DIRECTIONS: In a pan (Spray/Butter if it calls for it), Zig Zag cake mixes, alternating! Til each is gone. Carefully, without shaking a lot, place it into Oven, Bake according to instructions (I always use the high/longer time). FROSTING IS OPTIONAL… Whip Cream/Ice Cream can be used!
– Strawberry Chocolate:
In two separate bowls!
Bowl #1: Favorite Chocolate Cake Box. REPLACE WATER it calls for WITH CHOCOLATE MILK! Add rest of ingredients (Except water) it calls for.
Bowl #2: Favorite Strawberry Cake Box. REPLACE WATER it calls for WITH STRAWBERRY MILK! Add rest of ingredients (Except water) it calls for.
DIRECTIONS: In a pan (Spray/Butter if it calls for it), Zig Zag cake mixes, alternating! Til each is gone. Carefully, without shaking a lot, place it into Oven, Bake according to instructions (I always use the high/longer time).
