Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package white cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs (or 4 egg whites)
- 1 package Strawberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 12 strawberries (cut in half)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Follow instructions on cake mix box, adding appropriate water. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake according to package instructions (about 28-32 minutes) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 15 minutes.
- Poke holes in the top of the cake with a skewer or wooden spoon handle, about an inch apart.
- Prepare the Strawberry Jello by adding 1 cup of boiling water to the powder. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Pour the dissolved jello over the cooled cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
