mango strawberry upside down cake
Today I decided I wanted a dessert with fruit, specifically pineapple upside down cake, howver i had no pineapple. I did have a bag of frozen mango and a bad of frozen strawberries so i thought what the heck lets make a mango strawberry upside down cake. I used all my flour while baking cookies the last few days and havent gotten to the grocery store due to several trips to the ER over last two days so i thought a white cake mix would work, ummm no white cake mix, seems i have almost exhausted the cake mixes my daughter so lovingly bought on sale by using them to come up with other recipes lol. i did howver have a funfetti cake mix lol. (my sons addition) and i figured well its white cake with sprinkles so lets give it a shot. This cake was amazing. so delicious your taste buds go wild discovering the many flavors rolled up in it! I made two 9 in rounds and have 1/2 of one left. You definitely have to try this
