This is one of those recipes from the 70's with lots of already-processed ingredients. I love it. It's very moist because the syrupy strawberry mixture starts on top and soaks through as the cake bakes.

  • 1 c mini marshmallows
  • 2 c (2 10 oz. packages) frozen, sliced strawberres, completely thawed in syrup
  • 1 pkg (3oz) strawberry jello
  • 2 1/4 c flour
  • 1 1/2 c sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 c shortening
  • 1 c milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Generously grease bottom of pan (13" x 9"). Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over bottom of pan. Thoroughly combine completely thawed strawberries and syrup with dry jello; set aside. In large mixer bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 min at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Pour batter over marshmallows - spread out. Spoon strawberry mixture evenly over batter. Bake 350 deg 45-59 min -- until golden brown & toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or cool w/ ice cream or whipped cream.
