  • 1 package (3 oz) Strawberry Jello Infuses the cake with strawberry flavor.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch cake pan with nonstick spray, then dust with flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, 4 eggs, 1 ⅓ cups water, ⅔ cup oil, and the strawberry Jello. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 27-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  4. After baking, poke holes in the cake surface while warm to allow Jello to soak in.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream and powdered sugar until smooth and slightly runny.
  6. Pour the icing over the cooled cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes for extra flavor.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
