I actually have family members give me a hard time because I've started cooking more from scratch. Hamburger Helper used to be a staple for us but now we eat it maybe once every 6 months. I bake a LOT and love to try new recipes.
Also, a friend gave me this recipe. I made it for church and the ladies in the kitchen kept back half of it so that they could eat it themselves, LOL!
Strawberry Soda Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
2 (3 oz) boxes strawberry jello
1 cup strawberry soda
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1 8 oz tub of cool whip
Prepare and bake yellow cake mix as directed. When done (while still hot) punch full of holes. Dissolve strawberry jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Add 1 cup of strawberry soda. Drizzle jello mixture over cake to fill holes. After cake completely cools, frost with instant vanilla pudding mix, prepared with 1 1/2 cups cold milk and cool whip folded in.
GOOD FOR YOU! (To be honest, I have NEVER tried "Hamburger Helper".....Is it good?)
Your Strawberry Soda Cake sounds YUMMY. Where the heck to people come up with some of these recipes????
