How to Make Red Zinger Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white cake mix, the amount of water specified on the cake mix box, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in 3 oz (approximately 1 packet) of raspberry Jell-O powder.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove cake from oven. Immediately poke holes all over the cake using a fork. Pour 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top.
  7. Spread 1 cup of raspberry preserves evenly over the condensed milk. Let the cake cool completely.
  8. Top with 8 oz of Cool Whip and sprinkle generously with sweetened coconut flakes.
