Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free yellow cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, water, and egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and continue mixing for an additional 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once fully baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the sugar-free gelatin mix according to the package instructions: dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1 cup of cold water and stir until fully combined.
Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake, about 1 inch apart. Slowly pour the prepared gelatin mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the gelatin is set.
Once the cake is chilled and the gelatin is set, optionally spread a thin layer of light whipped topping over the surface for extra creaminess. Garnish with fresh fruit slices if desired.
Cut into 12 equal slices and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
