This Strawberry Jello Cake features a fluffy vanilla cake layered with strawberry jello and topped with whipped cream. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 people.

Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
3 large eggs
1 cup water
1 box (3 oz) strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix until well combined and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake the Cake: Bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
Prepare the Jello: In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry jello in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cake is cooled, use a fork to poke holes all over the top. Pour the strawberry jello mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the jello is set.
Top with Whipped Cream: Once the jello is set, spread the whipped topping over the cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled.
