Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box vanilla cake mix , plus ingredients on the back of box to prepare
  • 1 (3 ounce) box strawberry flavored jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping , such as CoolWhip
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish , if desired

Instructions

  • Prepare the cake according to packaged directions and bake until toothpick inserted into middle of cake comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the bottom of a rounded utensil (I used the bottom of a wooden spoon), poke holes (it's ok to go through the bottom of the cake) all over the cake so that the jello mixture will seep in. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add jello mix and boiling water. Whisk for 2 minutes, or until mixture is completely dissolved. Add cold water and whisk.
  • Pour jello mixture over cake and then cover cake pan with plastic wrap or foil. Refridgerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove cake from refrigerator and spread strawberry pie filling evenly over cake, and then top with whipped topping. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
