Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients to make the cake - check the box for directions)
- 1 3oz package strawberry jello mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 oz container frozen whipped topping thawed
Instructions
- Prepare, and bake cake in a 9×13" baking pan, according to package directions. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- While cake is still warm, poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon (or with tines of a fork, about 1/2" apart).
- In a small mixing bowl, combine boiling water and Jello mix. Whisk until fully combined.
- Pour Jello evenly over the warm cake, pouring slowly and evenly to cover the whole cake, which fills the holes. Cover cake with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until cooled.
- When cake is cooled, spread whipped topping evenly over the entire top of the cake.
- To serve, top cake with strawberries right before serving.
