Step 1

Mix cake batter according to the instructions on the box (if desired, substitute the 1 cup of water with 1 cup premade vanilla pudding for a cake that is denser and better able to stand up to high-temperature grilling).
Step 2

Remove grill grate from unit and close hood. Select BAKE, set temperature to 325°F, and set time to 40 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating.
Step 3

While the unit is preheating, liberally coat the Ninja® multi-purpose pan* (or an 8-inch baking pan) with cooking spray. Pour batter into the pan.
Step 4

When the unit has beeps to signify it has preheated, place the pan in the pot. Close hood and cook for 40 minutes.
Step 5

Meanwhile, place the strawberries in a mixing bowl and toss them with sugar until well coated. Let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then add honey and mix well to coat. Set strawberries aside.
Step 6

When cooking is complete, allow the cake to cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan and use a serrated knife to cut it into 2″ x 2″ cubes. Assemble the skewers alternating between cake cubes and strawberries. Reserve the liquid from the strawberries.
Step 7

Insert grill grate in unit and close hood. Select GRILL, set temperature to HIGH, and set time to 6 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating.
Step 8

While the unit is preheating, spray each skewer with cooking spray.

After 3 minutes, flip skewers over, close hood, and cook for 3 more minutes.
Step 11

When cooking is complete, transfer skewers to a serving plate. Spoon strawberry liquid over the top and serve with whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream.
