This week, I thought I'd share a recipe for his addictively good birthday cake.

I actually let my daughter decide what kind of cake we'd have for her little brother's first birthday (because...well...he's 1). She immediately said strawberry - the girl loves a good piece of strawberry cake! Since I've mentioned before that Jackson is addicted to bananas, I thought I'd step this strawberry cake up a notch.

 

The flavors blended perfectly. It was a really light cake that would be great for spring or summer! Trust me, it's super easy and will make everyone think you worked on it all day. You've got to give this one a try!

  1. you didn't say if pudding was instant or cook n serve

    1. Sorry about that, it's instant!

  2. Do you think this will turn out if I use an egg replacement?

    1. That should work! Check the box of egg replacement for the equivalent amounts (I think 1 egg usually = 1/4 cup).

  3. How much does this make? I have to make one for 100 people

    1. This one usually gives me 16-20 servings.

    I had to take a guess on what size pudding boxes to use. These days they coming in about three different sizes and kinds. So next time see what size boxes were supposed to use to be really helpful.
