Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Prepare cake mix batter in a large mixing bowl according to package instructions and place in the oven as directed.
• Once cake has fully baked, remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour.
• Using the end of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes evenly across the entire cake.
• Next mix together two 3 ounce boxes of strawberry jello mix with 1 1/2 cups (boiling) hot water. Stir until the jello has completely dissolved. Next add 1 cup of cold water and stir for 1 minute.
• Pour jello mixture evenly over the cake, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 2-4 hours. *For a cleaner "poke cake" effect, use a large spoon to drop the jello mixture evenly across the cake.
• While cake is refrigerated, clean and slice or dice strawberries, and (if desired) add a teaspoon or two of sugar to sweeten them. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to decorate/serve.
• Remove cooled cake from the refrigerator and spread either homemade whipped cream or 1 8 ounce tub of cool whip on top with a spatula.
• Re-cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Before serving, top with your diced or sliced strawberries, slice, and enjoy!
