Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box sugar-free vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 package (3 oz) sugar-free strawberry jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 cups whipped topping (sugar-free)
- Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the sugar-free vanilla cake mix according to package instructions using eggs, oil, and water.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- In a bowl, dissolve sugar-free strawberry jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1 cup cold water.
- Pour the jello mixture evenly over the poke holes so it seeps into the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the jello to set fully.
- Before serving, spread the sugar-free whipped topping evenly over the cake.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, add a few fresh mint leaves on top or swap whipped topping for coconut cream to make it dairy-free.
