Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of white cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare as directed on the box)
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the white cake mix according to the package directions and bake in a 9ร13-inch baking dish. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Then add 1 cup cold water and mix well.
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, use the end of a wooden spoon or a straw to poke holes all over the cake.
- Pour the Jell-O mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread whipped topping over the entire cake.
- Garnish with chopped fresh strawberries, if desired.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the white cake mix with a strawberry or angel food cake for extra flavor.
- If you prefer, you can also add a layer of fresh whipped cream or vanilla pudding underneath the topping for added richness.
