Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag halal mini marshmallows
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • Ingredients needed for the cake mix (usually 3 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 cup water) per cake mix package directions
  • 1 packet halal strawberry jelly powder (approximately 85 grams)
  • 3 cups frozen strawberries
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Grease baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Layer marshmallows: Spread the whole bag of halal mini marshmallows evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  4. Prepare cake batter: Mix the yellow cake mix with the required ingredients as per package instructions (typically 3 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 cup water) until smooth.
  5. Add batter over marshmallows: Gently pour the cake batter evenly over the marshmallow layer without stirring or mixing the layers together.
  6. Sprinkle jelly powder: Evenly sprinkle the halal strawberry jelly powder over the top of the cake batter to add fruity flavor.
  7. Add frozen strawberries: Spread the frozen strawberries evenly over the jelly powder layer.
  8. Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy as is, or with optional halal add-ins like vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use halal-certified mini marshmallows and strawberry jelly powder to keep the recipe halal.
  • Do not mix the layers once combined; this creates the signature ‘magic’ effect.
  • Optional toppings such as vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, white chocolate chips, or crushed biscuits add extra texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute frozen strawberries with fresh strawberries if preferred, but frozen works best to maintain moisture during baking.
  • Make sure to grease the baking dish well to avoid sticking.
