- Whisk together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake according to the package directions. (about 30-35 minutes) The cake is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack.
- While the cake is still hot, use the back of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake about 1-inch apart.
- Warm the strawberry jam in the microwave for 30-60 seconds and stir. Pour the jam into the holes in the cake and then let the cake cool completely.
