Hello! Can I mix a package (or maybe half a package) of strawberry JELLO into my white cake mix to make a strawberry cake? Has anyone tried it? I'm not interested in doing the poke hole method because I'm going to make cupcakes. Thanks!
I have wondered about this too, did you use a half or whole pack of jello?
I just tried that last week and it seemed to work fine. I just dissolved the Jello in some of the water first and then poured it into the batter & mixed. The cake seemed a little moister than usual, but other than that, I didn't notice any difference.
I also tried mixing Jello in just one cup of batter for a swirl effect and it looked really cool.
Do you use the whole box of JELLO or just half? And you put it right into the cake mix before baking right, and it turns out okay?
I use strawberry and lemon jello all the time in my strawberry and lemon cakes, and like Tiffany29 said, it just depends on how strong you want the flavor, and yes, I just sprinkle mine in the mixing bowl and mix it up.......tastes great!!!!!!!
The recipe that I use for strawberry cake includes a pack of strawberry jello and frozen strawberries-- it's yummy!
I tried using the strawberry Jello to flavor a white cake mix , and while it worked the resulting cake was much too sweet for my taste.
I do however, use it occasionally to make/flavor a simple syrup. (Think Jello poke cakes for the kids.)
I find that adding strawberry extract to scratch, cake mix or doctored cake mix recipes work bests for me. Added flavor punch but no extra sweetness.
HTH
Y'all are kidding, right?
No, why do you think we are kidding???????
My thinking is that maybe Mensch is vegetarian and jello isn't vegan? Just guessing.
I ADD A PACK OF SUGAR FREE JELLO TO ALOT OF MY YELLLOW OR WHITE CAKES AND DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE IN THE RECEIPE. LIME IS GREAT.
I put a small package in a recipe once and it tasted good, but was sort of rubbery.
I think half a package would be better.

I don't see what the problem with using it would be. It's just flavoring, coloring and gelatin.

I miss chutzpah saying 'gelatin is meat every time the subject comes up.
