A Strawberry Hummingbird Cake - Tammy's Godsend Cake Recipe

[@daricetaylor737]

Darice’s Orange marshmallow jello poke cake recipe (Hope no one minds me sharing this creation of mine here) 1 Box yellow cake mix 2 large boxes Kraft orange jello 1 7 oz jar Kraft Jet Puffed marshmallow creme 2 Kraft Cool Whip 15 oz (any personal choice of product will work from regular to lite to extra creamy) 2 large cans mandarin oranges Open and drain both mandarin oranges, save the juice to use in cake mix in place of water. Mix cake batter according to the instructions but substitute the mandarin orange juice for the water. If there is not enough juice, add remaining amount of liquid as water until you reach instructions volume. Stir in the jar of marshmallow creme until smooth….some small lumps of marshmallow is ok. Place batter into large 10X15X2 baking dish (cake will fluff up), and bake according to directions. It may take a few minutes longer to bake due to addition of marshmallow. Dissolve one package of orange jello in 2 cups boiling water and set aside. Once cake it baked, generously poke the entire cake with a skewer or fork…..pour jello over cake slowly so it absorbs into the top. Cover with foil and place into fridge for an hour. Once cake is cooled, pour second package of DRY jello into the cool whip and mix until completely incorporated…...gently fold in the mandarin oranges and immediately frost on top of cooled cake (the jello starts to set in the cool whip, so mix only when cake is ready to be frosted). Place cake back into the fridge for at least an hour prior to serving. For better slicing, dip knife into hot water and wipe clean before each cut in order to avoid crushing the topping. Variations of this recipe are lime jello and pineapple…..orange jello and chocolate cake mix…..cherry jello and maraschino cherries….variations are only limited by your own imagination. This cake is the bomb at any BBQ or Picnic….it is light and refreshing and so full of fruity flavor.

I have an Easter bunny shaped pan think I will try it in that pan..think the grand babies would love that

[@leahwhiteley5164]

My cousin had a Easter Bunny pan and she always used white icing and coconut. Dressed up the bunny with chocolate eggs and jelly beans. It was always gorgeous. So much fun.

[@pjjohnson1941]

That looks really good! 😋 The ingredients almost sound like a Hummingbird Cake but with a Strawberry 🍓 Cake mix base. I think I would fold in cream cheese into the cool whip before frosting! 🥰 Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@lindasegraves6207]

I was thinking the same thing before I read your comment. I love hummingbird cake. Tammy's decorations are real cute!

[@Amagayle-vd6si]

My mama made me a Hummingbird cake for one of my last birthdays that I was able to spend with her before she left this life… she was a Saint 🕊💛🙏 She knew it was one of my favorite (top favorite) cakes. I also loved a strawberry cake that she use to make, it was so light and delicious. Counting my blessings everyday✨

[@mdatichy]

That's a beautiful cake. It looks so delicious. This cake will be on my table Easter Sunday. Thank you so much Tammy you have made cooking so easy for my 19 year old son. I'm bed bound and can no longer cook and he took up watching your channel 3 months ago and he understands your easy to follow recipes. His favorite is when Chris makes a surprise appearance cooking. We got tired of restaurant food and it got very expensive so he decided he wanted to learn to cook and you cook all of our favorite foods. His future wife will be one lucky lady. We love you and Chris and feel blessed to be invited into your home. God bless you both and we are praying for your health issues. Hoping all goes well for your surgical procedure on your teeth on Easter Monday.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

How wonderful! I will let Chris know, you must be proud of him!

[@patsmith5947]

Isn’t that great, my son when he married in college his wife was very opinionated about what they were going to eat, her family had some different food that he wasn’t used to. She was very frugal and he didn’t like much of what she made. There were a couple of dishes he did like but he started cooking like his mama to get food he liked. I’m sure she hated me for that reason alone. Over their 25 years of marriage he did most of the cooking. I made sure my boy knew how to cook and he was actually more interested than his sister. He married again and I think he again does most of the cooking.

[@saraspangler890]

That looks so delicious. My Aunt Margaret would make us kids a coconut cake, in the shape of a bunny, decorated with jelly beans. She just used two round pans. My sister Jude made it for her kids for Easter too.

[@saraspangler890]

@@sierrasky2491 she cut the ears out of one circle, leaving a bow tie shape, then the other circle was the head. It wasn’t a full rabbit shape, but still cute.

[@mmb4427]

ADORABLE! One thing about those you don’t like coconut… There is coconut and the actual cake not just on top.

[@madelynwallh6524]

Thank you.. ❤️ it looks very good.🌹🌹🌹 My problem is that I don't know if we have strawberry cake mix , here in Sweden. It's not common to bake cakes with mix here. But I will check it out in one of our bigger foodstores, maybe I can find it there. I think, someone, must need mix, even here in Sweden. 😂

[@lindabranum6686]

It's so cute the kids will love it! The adults will love it tii

[@lolaottinger3038]

You are certainly right about Baker’s coconut, someone mentioned Walmarts coconut and how good it was…..so I bought it. And I used it in my German Chocolate Pie, it was just lousy, I’ll never buy it again, and I seldom buy any Walmart brand food, not sure why I thought the coconut would be good. My Mom always used Baker’s and it used to come in a can. Tammy I bet you have a recipe for the jello poke cake, I love the frosting in their recipe, they use Dream Whip and instant pudding, I think it just bumps up the flavor a little bit more than cool whip, in my opinion. Your cake turned out really cute.

[@BAR55825]

Oh my gosh, I’m gonna have to try this cake, it looks absolutely scrumptious!!! But I don’t like to use oil, so I substitute REAL butter. 😊

[@arcticcat7142]

This is almost a “Banana Split in a cake”! My kids would say to use all of those options on the cake, and don’t forget the Robin’s Eggs (colored malted milk balls)

[@deidregoodman6485]

Look very delicious 🤤 😋 I love strawberry cake 🎂

[@joannaazar7396]

I’m so excited to make the cake in the summer. I’m definitely going to bring it to a barbecue. Thanks again. NewJersey ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wish my Momma was still here, she knew how to dye coconut, sadly I never learned. That looks great! I would have to do half and half, hubby doesn't like coconut

[@JT-el2kg]

People that don't like coconut won't like it anyway because there is coconut inside the cake. I say do the whole thing with coconut. That cake looks delicious.

[@harrietlivengood6793]

What a AWESOME cake! My grandkids would love this!

[@lynnjones185]

Do u think it will be as good without the banana

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Yes but add 1/2 cup of water

[@lynnjones185]

Thanks

Just took another insulin injection to get through the recipe! Looks really good. 😔

[@vickiehall2439]

Tammy, The Godsend Cake is delicious! I made it for an 80th Birthday cake for my friend who just turned 80! She was speechless! For my cake I spread Light Cool Whip on top with strawberries cut up! It was delicious!

Anyone who uses White Lily flour has my attention. I have been using that flour for a long time. One of my daughter in laws uses it also. Thank you for this wonderful recipe :)

[@dianegraham2546]

How adorable is this cake and it looks delicious. Love each ingredient you added. Yummy!!

[@kathrynreed9724]

The cake was so pretty. It looked delicious too. 🐇

[@tracytaylor6873]

My topping would be whip cream coconut and strawberroie

[@GAPeach58]

Tammy, Happy Palm Sunday! That cake does look good but, NO coconut for me. I liked the decorations. It would be pretty decorated with fresh strawberries like someone else commented.

[@anthonydolio8118]

Very nice. I bet that cake would cause a lot of smiles around the Easter dinner table.

Wow Tammy, that's a powerful hack you did on that box cake--I love it! I must try this cake-Tammy style. Thanks for sharing and for all you do.

[@pennyroach9086]

Miss Tammy wouldn't it be cute to color the coconut green, then add colored malted eggs and a little chocolate bunny

[@patriciadowd2948]

What a cute cake and so yummy looking. I will have to try this one. Love your videos. My grandma raised me until I was 8 years old and she wss a great southern cook and I get my love of cooking from her. Her sister and their mother my great grandma were also wonderful cooks. I spent a lot of time with them and ate a lot of wonderful southern food.

[@terriquotskuyva4594]

I also love whip cream frosting… But I mix it with the store bought frosting 😋😋😋

[@leahwhiteley5164]

This looks so yummy. I'm making it this week! 100% coconut for me! Thank you Tammy!

[@arcticcat7142]

Just a hint for the viewership, If you don’t have any baking powder: 1 teaspoon baking soda + 2 teaspoons cream of tarter = 3 teaspoons baking powder If you don’t have cake flour: 1 Cup flour - 2 Tablespoons = 1 Cup Cake Flour

[@margiemasih990]

Tammy I would use reg flour ..not self rising flour.

[@wandacollier8764]

I'm gonna make it for Easter

[@margretkates1394]

Instead of bananas maybe smashed sweetened strawberries?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I would say yes

[@tinamitchell5205]

So I'm going to make this for my daughter's birthday but some ppl don't like coconut. When you put coconut in the cake batter how does that work will you be able to tell there's coconut in the cake? I hope I'm making sense. Lol

[@CollardValleyCooks]

People can tell it is there

I would like to try practically everything you make. I finally got some White Lily everything: all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, and cornmeal mix. I've never had good flour for baking in my life.

[@carollyon4755]

How about chopped dates for the nuts, and miniature colored marshmallows for the coconut topping?! They should look very colorful for Spring, you could press them down into the Cool Whip just a little, and you can still put the candy eggs on top of them.

Does the strawberry flavor come through?

[@beverlyharward9631]

Brandi Lee 40 yrs ago, I used Strawberry cake mix ( Duncan Hines-the only boxed brand I use ) and while it did taste like Strawberry, it had a little bit artificial Strawberry taste to it. I'll probably make this but with 1/2 the pineapple and add fresh strawberries too. And some maraschino cherries!

It does
