Strawberry Piano Cake

Print

I used Wilton's Vintage Piano cake pans (from 1973).

Ingredients

  • 1 vanilla cake mix (Duncan Hines)
  • 1/2 cup crisco oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • speck of water
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 TBSP strawberry jam
  • 1 TBSP strawberry syrup (like for ice cream)
  • 1 box strawberry jello (3 oz which is 85 grams) pkg.
  • You can use a strawberry butter cream frosting. on this piano I did vanilla buttercream.
  • I put in piano for a layer cake. can do in a 9 x 13, 2 8 inch rounds or 2 9 inch rounds.
  • piano was 35 minutes at 350 degree f.
  • I used a spray like Baker's Joy for the piano pans.

Directions

  1. I actually mixed everything together in one big bowl and used my handmixer, but you can use a stand mixer. Poured into a greases pans. Bake for 35 minutes. But check temp. on Duncan Hines package. I have also done this with Cherry cake mix as well. I used a buttercream icing. You can use from scratch, or ready made icing.
