Upside-Down Strawberry Shortcake

(1/1)

DeShawn:
This is delicious with a generous dollop of whipped cream!

Ingredients:

* 1 cup miniature marshmallows
* 2 pints fresh strawberries, stemmed and sliced
* 1 3-oz. package strawberry gelatin
* Juice from half a lemon
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 1/4 cups flour
* 1 Tablespoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup milk
Preparation:
Sprinkle the marshmallows into the bottom of a 12-inch dutch oven.



In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, gelatin powder, and lemon juice.  Set aside.



In another mixing bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar. 



Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla. 



Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.



Pour the batter over the marshmallows. 



Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter.



Bake with 12 coals bottom heat and 14-16 coals top heat for 45-50 minutes.



Serves 8.

I did this one with Blackberries.  It was really good - especially with a big dollop of Whipped Cream.

Darren:
Blueberry shortcake? Hmmm...that DOES sound good!

DeShawn:
I made this with canned peaches and apricot gelatin for ScoutJam 100, and it was delicious. I'm trying it again tonight with peaches from my peach tree that have been frozen, thawed, and drained.
