Answer 5

Easy way to make cake, buy a box cake mix that says "just add water", but use a can of soda instead, it makes it taste unique and good at the same time. Just use any kind of soda it works, trust me. Stick it in the oven and check on it often buy sticking a knife or a toothpick in the center each time, if it's still gooey leave it in longer, but if the knife and the toothpick are still clean it's done and take it out. Hope that helped!

Drain 1/2 cup juice from strawberries, reserve for strawberry icing. Fold berries into batter. Pour batter into pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool 5 minutes; turn out of pan onto rack and cool completely.

CARAMEL FILLING:

1/4 c. boiling water

Add boiling water and brown sugar; cook until sugar and boiling water is well blended and all lumps are gone. Put all ingredients in large boiler. Cook until it leaves the spoon. Set in cold water beating until it becomes creamy and thick.

I hope that these help you, and you do not have to do the fillings or frostings, they are just there for a little extra idea. Good luck and happy baking!
