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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the Jell-O to set.
Step 8
Once the Jell-O has set, evenly spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake as frosting.
Step 9
Garnish the cake with sliced fresh strawberries. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or scatter them evenly across the top.
Step 10
Slice the cake into 12 pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy!
