How do you add fruit to cake mix?
Berries or Preserves Adding fruit to a cake makes it seem more elegant, and there are many ways to incorporate it into a box cake mix. One way is to add a few spoonfuls of fruit preserves into the batter and swirl it around before baking. Chocolate cake will quickly turn into chocolate-raspberry cake.
How do you add fresh berries to a cake mix?
In a small bowl, toss 1 cup blueberries and flour until completely coated (to keep the berries from sinking). Gently fold blueberries into the batter. Divide cake batter evenly among prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
Will strawberries make cake soggy?
Generally, no they should be fine. You’d have more of an issue with frozen than fresh. It would take fresh strawberries a long time to release enough moisture to cause any significant amount of sogginess.
How do you keep strawberries from sinking in a cake?
Simply toss the fruit in a small bowl with a small scoop of flour and add the lightly covered fruit to your cake mix and follow the rest of the recipe as normal. The light flour coating helps the fruit to ‘stick’ to the cake mixture better, stopping them from sinking.
How do you keep strawberries from getting soggy on cakes?
Heat ¼ cup seedless raspberry preserves in the microwave until soft. Using a pastry brush, paint a thin layer of preserves over the strawberries to give them a nice sheen. Tip: Brush a thin layer of warmed preserves over fresh fruits on your desserts to keep them from drying out.

How do you stop strawberries from bleeding on cakes?
