Strawberry Soda Mini-Cakes

Strawbery Soda Mini-Cakes - Mama Harris' KitchenI can admit that I’m a little confusing. I mean, for the past month I’ve been sharing all of these Fall recipes to prepare for the cooler months, and then now on the first day of Fall I share this very summery recipe. Hear me out though!

I just realized I had this post sitting in my drafts since July, which was back when I had made it. I have this notebook that I scribble recipes in when I’m testing them out because in actuality I’m like all those other cooks who will just throw a little bit of this and a little bit of that in a recipe with no measurements. I learned the hard way how difficult it is to replicate those recipes with no notes, so keeping a pen and pad in the kitchen forces me to do just that  in case the recipe is magic and needs to be shared. However, my little ones love to draw and scribble too and sometimes they steal those notepads. I couldn’t find it for a few months, and the other night I finally did! I came on here to put in the recipe and discovered I had already saved all the ingredients and measurements months ago! I was ahead of myself and I didn’t even know, too funny right? Has that ever happened to you?

Strawbery Soda Mini-Cakes - Mama Harris' Kitchen

Summer is prime time for strawberries, and back in July I had a lot. Since I’m also in California, they’re everywhere and super cheap that time of year. For years I’d been wanting to make a cake with strawberry soda, much like my super popular 7-Up Cake (you should go check out that recipe for the comments alone, seriously they always make me cry. Best comments ever!) I love making cakes in my bundt pan, and I found this adorable pan for mini-bundts. So I created my own strawberry soda cake recipe specifically for the mini-bundt pan. If you don’t have a mini pan, you could just double the recipe and prepare it in a regular sized bundt pan.

I based this recipe on my 7-Up cake and also borrowed the idea for strawberry gelatin powder as an addition from a strawberry cupcake recipe I made a few years ago from Land O’ Lakes. I love the pretty pink color it adds while still keeping the texture light. Of course this recipe also includes tiny chunks of strawberries in addition to pureed strawberry, both in the cake and in the glaze. It’s delicious and super cute in the mini form.

Strawberry Soda Mini-Cakes Ingredients:

  • 1.5 sticks butter, room temp
  • 1.5 cups white granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sliced strawberries, pureed
  • 1/4 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1/2 tablespoon strawberry gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup PLUS 2 tablespoons strawberry soda

Strawberry Soda Cake Glaze Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry puree
  • 1 tablespoon chopped strawberries

Directions:

Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees.

Strawbery Soda Mini-Cakes - Mama Harris' KitchenRinse your strawberries and remove the stems, then place them in a food processor.I basically added a bunch of strawberries and blended on pulse to get the chopped strawberries. Measured out how much I needed for the chopped strawberries for both the cake and the glaze, then pureed the rest and measured that out for the pureed strawberries for the cake and glaze. You might find a better method, but this worked perfectly for me.

Once you have your chopped strawberries measured and your pureed strawberries measured, set them aside for now.

Strawbery Soda Mini-Cakes - Mama Harris' KitchenSpray your pan well with a good non-stick spray that includes flour. This will help make sure there is no sticking, it’s a common problem in bundt cakes and I address it in my 7-Up cake recipe post.

Strawbery Soda Mini-Cakes - Mama Harris' KitchenGently spoon in your mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed. This mixture will make exactly 6 mini-bundts.

Pop it in the oven and set the timer for 35 minutes. Check every ten minutes after that, until done. For me it was about 45-50 minutes, but it varies depending on your oven.

    These look so, so good! I love strawberries, too. My family and I spent spring break this year in SoCal and there were just fields and fields of strawberries!
    And by the way, I’m so jealous of your ability to just throw in a little of this and a little of that and create a recipe from scratch. I wish I had that talent!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
