Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about what to make with that there strawberry cake mix. You know, the kind you buy at the store? Don’t you be thinkin’ it’s just for plain ol’ cake. Heck no! We can do a whole lot more with it than that.
First off, let’s talk about them strawberry cake mix cookies. Yeah, cookies! You just dump that mix in a bowl, add some oil and eggs, maybe a little bit of vanilla if you got some, and stir it all up. Then you plop little spoonfuls of that gooey stuff onto a cookie sheet and bake ’em ’til they’re golden brown. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! My grandkids, they just love these things. They gobble them up faster than I can make them!
And then there’s them strawberry cake mix brownies. Now, these ain’t your regular brownies, mind you. These are gonna be pink and pretty and taste like sunshine and strawberries. Just mix that cake mix with some melted butter and eggs and maybe a little bit of chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy. Bake it up in a pan and you got yourself a dessert that’ll make your mouth water. I made some last week for the church potluck, and everyone kept asking me for the recipe. I just told them, “It’s a secret!” Hehehe.
- Cupcakes are another good option. You can make little cupcakes perfect for parties or just a sweet treat. I add a little extra butter to make them extra moist. Sometimes, I even put a little bit of frosting on top, you know, to make it look pretty. The kids go crazy for cupcakes, especially the ones with sprinkles.
- And don’t forget about strawberry cake mix bars. These are kinda like brownies, but they’re a little bit lighter and fluffier. You can add all sorts of things to ’em, like nuts or dried fruit or even some white chocolate chips. Just mix it all up, bake it up, and cut it up into squares. Perfect for a snack or a quick dessert. My neighbor, she loves these bars. She always asks me to make her a batch when I’m bakin’. I reckon she can’t resist a good sweet treat.
Now, some folks, they like to get all fancy and add all sorts of things to their cake mix. They’ll add pudding mix or sour cream or even some chopped-up strawberries. And that’s all well and good, I reckon. But me, I like to keep things simple. I figure if that cake mix is good enough on its own, then it’s good enough for me. But you do what you want, honey. It’s your kitchen, after all.
One little secret I learned, you can make the cake taste even better by using milk instead of water. Yep, just plain ol’ milk. It makes the cake richer and more moist. And if you really want to go wild, you can use buttermilk! That makes it even better, like them fancy cakes you get at the bakery. But don’t tell anyone I told you that, it’s our little secret, okay?
So there you have it. A whole bunch of things you can make with that strawberry cake mix besides just cake. Don’t be afraid to experiment, y’all. You might just come up with something new and delicious. And even if you don’t, well, at least you had fun tryin’, right? Baking ain’t supposed to be hard work, it’s supposed to be fun. So get in that kitchen and start baking, honey. Your family will thank you for it.
And remember, even if it ain’t perfect, it’ll still taste good. Folks ain’t lookin’ for perfection, they’re lookin’ for somethin’ made with love. And that’s the most important ingredient of all, ain’t it? Now go on, get to bakin’!
One more thing before you go, if you want to add some extra strawberry flavor, you can toss in some of them freeze-dried strawberries. Just crush ‘em up a bit and mix ‘em right into the batter. It’ll give it a real nice kick, you know? My daughter-in-law, she showed me that trick. She’s always comin’ up with new ideas.
And that’s all I got to say about that. Now go on, get busy and make somethin’ sweet!
