Strawberry overload
I am quite the fan of Pillsbury and their cake mixes - as well as their other products. This Pillsbury Strawberry Cake mix however, was quite an interesting experience though. The cake mix in general was very uncomplicated. Calling for only eggs, water and oil. It turned out really well too. It was very evenly baked and nicely golden on the top. The cake had these strawberry specs in it. They appeared randomly throughout the cake. They tasted a bit more intense than the rest of the cake. The strawberry flavor of the cake is mild but I somehow found it to be overwhelming. The cake had a combination of strawberry and oil after taste so, I found myself a bit disappointed about the overall experience. I would suggest that you make this cake in alternating layers of white or yellow cake then strawberry. This will reduce or lighten some of the strawberry taste and texture and balance it out well. Overall, the cake was good but not great. The price of the cake was very reasonable and the cake was very moist as well. It is just too much strawberry for me.
