Ingredients:
- 1 box of white cake mix
- 1 package of strawberry gelatin
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 1/2 cup of cold water
- 1 tub of whipped topping
- Fresh strawberries for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter, and bake the cake according to the package directions. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
- Once the cake has cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the cake. The holes should be about 1 inch apart.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the package of strawberry gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Add 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Pour the mixture over the cake, making sure to pour it evenly over the entire surface. The gelatin mixture will seep into the holes in the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
- Once the gelatin has set, spread a layer of whipped topping over the entire cake. If desired, add sliced fresh strawberries on top for an extra pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the cake chilled and enjoy!
