 .
 Then spoon strawberry mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50
 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Serve warm or cool wi
 th
 ice cream.

 The strawberries will be on bottom, the cake part stays in the middle, and the
 marshmallows rise to the top. Hope you enjoy!!
