Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box white cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3 large eggs (or amount listed on cake mix box)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 box strawberry-flavored gelatin (3 oz)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Prepare cake mix with eggs, oil, and water as directed. Bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes.
  2. Dissolve gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, then stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Poke holes all over warm cake with a fork. Slowly pour gelatin over cake, letting it seep into holes.
  3. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours, until fully chilled and set.
  4. Spread whipped topping over cake, garnish with sliced strawberries if desired, and slice into squares. Serve cold.

Notes

Chill at least 4 hours, or overnight for the cleanest slices. The cake can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge.
