Preparation

Step 1

Prepare your cake mix by the box.
Bake in a 9x13 pan and allow to cool completely.
Using a wooden skewer, poke holes all over cake...making sure to reach the skewer all the way to the bottom of the pan.
The more holes the merrier.
Prepare the Jell-o {use the cup of water to boil and then the one cup of lemonade, still cold}.
Pour the Jell-o all over the cake, allowing it to seep into the cake through the holes.

Refrigerate overnight. Frost with Cool Whip frosting and top with sliced strawberries, if desired.
