I don’t want a cake that I make into a basket or a bunny or anything. Just a good cake that can maybe be made in a 13X9 pan. Something spring time maybe. Thank you!
Maybe it’s just me, but I always associate Spring and Easter with carrot cake. Cream cheese frosting, mmm… There are recipes all over the place, and I’ve never had a bad one.
Buy strawberry cake mix in a box. Mix and bake following the directions on the box. Let it cool completely. Poke holes in it with the handle of a wooden spoon. Take a package of frozen strawberries in juice and puree them in a blender until mostly smooth. If they are too sour, you can add a little sugar to taste. Cover with foil and let that sit in the fridge for a few hours.
To make the frosting mix equal parts vanilla pudding and Cool Whip. Spread over the top and serve cold.
Sorry I don’t have exact measurements. This is kind of a "guess" recipe. Enjoy!

Jello Cake
1 box yellow cake mix, prepared and baked according to directions.
1 pkg jello (lemon, strawberry, orange work well)
1 1/2 cups hot water
With a straw, poke holes randomly througout still-hot cake. Mix the water and jello together and pour into holes, then pour remaining over entire cake. When cool, frost with whipped cream and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. (This will not make cake jello-like, it just makes it really moist and good)
