Instructions
Prepare the cake according to directions in a 9x13 inch cake pan.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
Using the end of a wooden spoon, fork, or chopstick, poke holes over the entire cake. We make 7 rows with 6 holes in each row over the cake about 1 inch apart.
Then in a saucepan over high bring the water to a boil and add in the jello mix. Whisk for 2 minutes until the jello is completely dissolved.
Next whisk in the cold water.
Now transfer the liquid jello mixture to a large measuring cup and slowly pour over the holes in the cake.
Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
Thaw the cocowhip and just before serving, frost the cake and decorate with strawberry bites.
Cut, serve, and enjoy.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
To prepare this cake ahead of time-- the cake can be baked up to 3 days ahead of time if covered and refrigerated. We recommend frosting the cake with whipped topping and strawberries just prior to serving. The strawberry juice will start to break down on the cake after it sets for awhile.
If using Simply Delish Strawberry Jel Dessert-- prepare one box of the jello mix with the same water amounts as above (1 cup boiling water, ¼ cup cold water),
