Ingredients

1 box White Cake Mix (18 Ounce Box) Baked According To Package Instructions
Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
1 box Strawberry Or Cherry Jello (6 Ounce Box, Or 2 3 Ounce Boxes)
1 container Cool Whip (8 Ounce Tub)

Directions

1

Prepare and bake the white cake mix, according to package instructions, in a 9 x 13 pan. Please follow the package instructions and include the specified amounts of water, eggs and oil, and bake according to package instructions. Allow to cool.
2

Next, mix Jello according to package directions, but DO NOT FOLLOW THE COLD WATER STEP. This will dilute the flavor and make it way too Jello-ey. In other words, just use half of the water it calls for - only the hot water step. Let this mix set for a couple of minutes to dissolve the crystals.
3

Meanwhile, take the end of a wooden spoon or a straw, and stab holes into the cooled cake, taking care not to tear it up. Slow and easy is best, using your fingers to keep the cake from sticking to your utensil.
4

Pour the Jello evenly over the cake, especially into the holes. Cover with plastic wrap, and pop it into the fridge until set.
5

Finally, top with Cool Whip and serve cold! Keep leftovers tightly covered in the fridge.
