Directions

1. Bake cake according to cake mix instructions on the box in a 9�13 metal pan.
2. * Or using a homemade version.
3. Allow cake to cool completely.
4. Using a wooden spoon�s handle, poke holes in the cooled cake by pushing the handle down all the way into the cake. I went through this phase where I thought all wood in the kitchen was evil because it is so absorbent. I kind of went overboard thinking that all my wood items were packed with germs. So I don�t have any wooden spoons, lol. But I do have these awesome plastic spoons shaped like a wooden spoon that I use to poke the holes.
5. Space the holes about 1/2 to 1 inch away from each other.
6. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, add 1 cup boiling water. Add the package of jell-O gelatin. We usually use strawberry flavor but any flavor of your choice will work. Stir until all gelatin crystals are dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and stir until well combined.
7. Slowly pour jell-O liquid over the cake ensuring the entire cake is evenly covered.
8. Be sure to pour the jell-O liquid directly down the holes you created.
9. Cover with whipped topping. In my picture of the ingredients I have a 16 oz tub of whipped topping. It�s just what I had on hand and it only takes 8 oz to cover the cake in a light layer of whipped topping.
10. Place in fridge for at least one hour before serving. Keep leftovers covered and in the fridge.
