Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9Γ—13-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Make cake according to package directions (likely adding 3 egg whites, water, and oil) and bake as directed.
  3. Remove cake from the oven when it’s done (probably about 23 to 28 minutes) and use a fork to poke holes all over the cake.
  4. To a large microwave-safe measuring cup, add 1 cup water and bring to a boil, about 90 seconds on high power.
  5. Add the Jell-O and whisk to combine until Jell-O has fully dissolved.
  6. Add 1/2 cold water and whisk to combine.
  7. Slowly and evenly pour the Jell-O water over the cake, taking your time to evenly distribute it. Cover and place cake in the fridge for about 3 hours.
  8. Remove cake from the fridge, evenly spread the whipped topping over the surface, cover cake, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better) before slicing, garnishing with strawberries, and serving.

Notes

  • Don’t add the strawberries until immediately prior to serving because they can get a little mushy if they’re sitting in Cool Whip in the fridge.
  • Cake will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • If desired, you can make your cake from scratch using this Vanilla Cake Recipe
