How to Make Grandma's Strawberry Cake
- Prepare your favorite 9x13 inch cake mix according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- While the cake is baking, dissolve 1 package (1 ounce) of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Gently stir in 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries (or 2 cups frozen, thawed), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup sour cream into the gelatin mixture.
- Refrigerate the strawberry mixture until the cake is completely cool to the touch.
- Once the cake is cool, poke numerous holes all over the top using a wooden spoon or chopstick.
- Carefully pour the chilled strawberry mixture evenly over the poked cake.
- Frost the cake with your favorite whipped topping (approximately 8 ounces).
- Refrigerate overnight to allow the strawberry mixture to fully soak into the cake. Enjoy!
