Strawberry Cake

Mom made the most delicious strawberry cake for my birthday this year and I had to have the recipe. I couldn't believe how easy it was! I posted the recipe here. Perfect food for Hungry Hobbits! :D

Except that hobbits wouldn't have Jell-O or cake-mix or margarine ofcourse.

Poor dears. I guess they'll just have to make their cake from scratch. :D

Not only hobbits would have a hard time finding Jell-O. I think the Dutch will have problems with that ingredient too. (And with frozen strawberries.) :-)

Hmm, that would present a problem, wouldn't it?

Any sweetened strawberry flavored gelatin would probably work. Or if you can't get that, what about a sweetened strawberry flavored drink powder? 4 oz. ought to do it. Or just leave that ingredient out, the cake should still be good without, just not quite as strong a strawberry flavor. For frozen strawberries, if you can't get those, you could slice 10-12 oz. fresh and sprinkle with sugar to bring out the juices. That would be the perfect substitute, I think.

Good luck, both of you!
