Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces white cake mix (1 package)
- 1 ¼ cup water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix (1 box)
- 1 ½ cup water (divided)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix with water, vegetable oil, and egg whites according to package directions.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake according to the package directions for a 9x13 pan. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- After the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the cake with a fork or the back of a thin wooden spoon. Set aside.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from the heat. Pour in the gelatin mix and whisk for about 2 minutes until well dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and whisk to combine.
- Pour the strawberry gelatin into the holes in the cake. Then pour any remaining gelatin all over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the gelatin set up and soak into the cake.
- Remove the cake from the fridge and top with an even layer of Cool Whip. Add the sliced strawberries on top for garnish before slicing and serving.
