Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries and mini marshmallows evenly over the bottom of the pan.
- Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to the package directions, then spread the batter gently over the fruit and marshmallows.
- Whisk the gelatin powder with the water and melted butter until combined, then drizzle it evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes, loosen the edges, and turn it out onto a serving platter so the strawberry layer faces up.
Notes
Let the cake cool briefly before turning it out so the fruit layer can settle without becoming firm.
