How to Make Award Winning Strawberry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) of strawberry cake mix, 1/2 cup of club soda, and 2 large eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While the cake is baking, prepare the jello mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of boiling water and 1 (3 oz) package of strawberry jello. Stir until completely dissolved. Set aside to cool completely.
  6. In a separate bowl, prepare the pudding mixture: Combine 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Let stand for 10 minutes to thicken.
  7. Gently fold in 8 oz of Cool Whip into the pudding mixture.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the top using a fork.
  9. Pour the cooled jello mixture evenly over the poked cake.
  10. Frost the cake with the pudding/Cool Whip mixture.
  11. Thinly slice approximately 1 cup of fresh strawberries and arrange them on top of the frosting.
