Pot luck

We are having a pot luck today at work for Norma's birthday. So I am in charge of making the cake. I am making a strawberry jello cake. I got the recipe from Julie. She made it for work one day and everyone loved it. It is so light and good. A great summer cake but its so good I am making it today. Here is the recipe:

It's very easy.
Ingredients: 1 - moist white cake mix (and what ever it takes to make the cake)
2 - containers of frozen sweetened strawberries (I get the Meijer brand)
1 - large tub of cool whip 1 - large box of strawberry Jell-O
Make sure you take the strawberries and cool whip out of the freezer the night before so they are thawed.

Directions:
1) Make the cake as directed on the box
2) When the cake is done, pull it out of the oven and poke lots of fork holes all over it (so the Jell-O will drain through)
3) In a small/med saucepan, boil water (I use 3 Cups water). As soon as it's to a full boil, pour the Jell-O mix in there. Stir until the mix is dissolved (30 secs or so).
4) Poor liquid Jell-O all over the STILL WARM cake 5) spread the strawberries over the STILL WARM cake 6) Refrigerate (over night if possible) 6) Before serving, spread cool whip on top.
Don't put the cool whip on cake until its been chilled over night b/c it will brown (especially if it's warm).

Thank you Julie
