Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow or white cake mix
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 3 oz box Strawberry Jello mix (or flavor of your choice)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 8 oz Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 as desired Optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, sprinkles, or grated chocolate)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions by combining the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, leaving about 1 inch of space between each hole.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, combine the Jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well.
Step 7
Carefully pour the Jello mixture evenly over the entire cake, ensuring it flows into the holes.
Step 8
Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the Jello to set.
Step 9
Once the cake has chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the surface.
Step 10
If desired, decorate the cake with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, sprinkles, or grated chocolate.
Step 11
Serve chilled and enjoy!
