How to Make Jello Cake
- Prepare your favorite boxed cake mix according to package directions. Use two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans. This is crucial for the jello to set properly.
- Once cool, use a fork to poke numerous holes all over the top of each cake, going all the way to the bottom. This allows the jello to soak in.
- Prepare one 3-ounce package of strawberry Jello according to package directions, but DO NOT let it set. Keep it liquid.
- Slowly pour the liquid Jello evenly over both cooled cakes, ensuring all the holes are filled.
- Refrigerate the cakes until the Jello is completely set (at least 2-3 hours).
- To easily remove the cakes, run the pans under warm water for about 30 seconds.
- Carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Frost the top of the cake with 8 ounces of Cool Whip, spreading evenly.
- Garnish generously with fresh sliced strawberries.
- Keep any leftover cake covered and refrigerated. Enjoy!
