Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box White cake mix
- 3 units Eggs (as required by cake mix instructions)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (as required by cake mix instructions)
- 1 cup Water (as required by cake mix instructions)
- 1 3 oz box Strawberry-flavored Jell-O
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 8 oz Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions, using the specified amounts of eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix the batter until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the strawberry Jell-O. In a medium bowl, dissolve the Jell-O powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Then add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the cooled cake. Pour the prepared Jell-O mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the Jell-O to set.
Once the Jell-O has set, evenly spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake as frosting.
Garnish the cake with sliced fresh strawberries. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or scatter them evenly across the top.
Slice the cake into 12 pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy!
