Strawberry Jello Cake Recipe

by - 7:07 PM

This recipe is probably familiar to most people, but I made this for a Shrimp Boil we went to last night and thought that there possibly might be some people who had never had this or made it. Before you completely disregard the recipe because of the words "strawberry" or "jello," let me just say that I'm not crazy about strawberries, so if you dislike strawberries, but like strawberry flavoring, then you can pick the strawberries off the top and still eat the cake (and it will still be really good!). Secondly, calling this a jello cake doesn't mean it's the consistency of jello. If you aren't familiar with cakes that use dissolved jello mix in them, then you would never be able to tell what makes this cake so wonderful, so give it a try. It's an awesome dessert for this time of year and super easy to make!

Strawberry Jello Cake Recipe

1 box of strawberry cake mix
1 box of strawberry Jello
1 cup of hot water
1 container of Cool Whip
Fresh strawberries

Mix cake mix according to directions on box and bake. Immediately after removing from oven, poke holes all over it. Mix dry Jello mix with water and pour all over the top of cake. Allow cake to cool completely. Once cool, ice with Cool Whip and garnish with fresh strawberries. Refrigerate immediately and serve cold.

**Note: Don't wait to decorate with strawberries until 45 minutes before you have to be somewhere or you won't have time to cut them in pretty slices. See pic above for example of not what to do! Also, this makes a great Flag cake for Fourth of July, using blueberries for the stars and strawberries for the stripes, which I did last year.
