Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 container Cool Whip (light or regular)
- 1 large package strawberry jello
- 1 box frozen sweetened strawberries, drained
- 2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
-
Prepare cake mix as directed. Bake in 13 x 9 cake pan as directed.
-
Remove from oven and poke holes in cake with fork. Every two to three time you poke the cake, turn the fork so as to make bigger holes. (If the holes are not big enough, the Jello will not seep down into the cake). Make sure you poke all the way to the bottom if possible.
-
Prepare Jello using one-half the amount of water. Pour Jello over the top of the cake, covering it completely. Place in refrigerator to cool.
-
Add thawed sweetened, drained strawberries to the Cool Whip. Place in refrigerator.
-
Once the cake has completely cooled, frost with the Cool Whip mixture and top with fresh sliced strawberries.
