1 egg

thawed
Fresh strawberries

Utensils

Scissors
Waxed paper
Microwavable 8-inch
round dish
Dry measuring cups
Medium bowl
Long-handled spoon
Liquid measuring cup
Rubber scrapper
Microwavable dinner plate
Potholders
Toothpick
Heatproof serving plate
Table knife or

Paper towels

Directions


1. Using scissors, cut a piece of waxed paper to fit the bottom of the round dish.
Set aside.
2. Mix the following ingredients together in the medium bowl:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
(You will be able to see small lumps even after stirring)
3. Stir the following ingredients into the dry mixture in the bowl until well blended:
3/4 cup fruit punch
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
4. Pour the batter into the wax paper-lined round dish. Put the micrwavable
dinner plate upside down in the microwave. Put the round dish on top of the
plate. Microwave uncovered on high (100%) 2 minutes. Turn the dish 1/2 turn.
Microwave 2 to 4 minutes longer or until a toothpick poked in center comes
out clean and the top is almost dry. Using potholders, remove the dish from
the microwave.
5. Let the cake stand uncovered on a flat, heatproof surface (not wire) 10 minutes.
6. Ask an adult to help put the serving plate upside down over the cake. Hold
the plate by the round dish handles and turn both upside down so the cake
falls onto the serving plate. Remove the round dish and pull off the waxed
paper. Cool the cake completely.
7. Frost the cake with 1 container (4 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed.
8. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled.
9. Rinse fresh strawberries in a colander and gently dry with paper towels.
10. Remove the strawberry stems if you like. Decorate the cake with the
strawberries just before serving. Refrigerate any remaining cake.

Hint: This cake will be the same color as the gelatin you use.
