Instructions

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. Mix cake mix, egg yolks, oil, Jell-o, sour cream, and milk in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. With a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Fold the egg whites and strawberries into the cake batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 32-36 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Place pan on a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pan and cool completely.
  6. Cut completely cooled and spread a 1-inch layer of whipped topping or whipped cream on one of the cakes. Top with the second layer of cake. Spread with additional whipped topping.
  7. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Garnish with sliced strawberries.

Notes

  • White cake mix can be replaced with yellow or funfetti cake mix.
  • Chopped strawberries can be added to the middle layer if desired.
  • Notes on the Topping
  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before 'frosting'.
  • For a richer topping, beat 4oz cream cheese with 2 oz softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped topping. 
  • If preferred, 1 cup of your favorite cream cheese frosting can be folded into the whipped topping. 
  • Whipped topping can be replaced with fresh whipped cream if desired but whipped topping tends to hold up better in the fridge if planning for leftovers.
  • If desired this can be made as a naked cake and topped with cream cheese frosting.
