This is an old southern classic. Perfect for any occasion, this refreshing and indulgent treat could easily become a new favorite on your dessert table. Vary the flavor of gelatin used to get a specific color for any holiday, such as lime for St. Patrick's Day. You can top this cake with berries or sprinkles if you like!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
DIRECTIONS
- Gather the ingredients, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- Pour cold water into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin mix on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved.
- Poke holes all over the cake using a fork; pour gelatin mix into the holes. Refrigerate cake until gelatin is set, about 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
- Spread whipped topping over cake.
- Enjoy!
