Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box white cake mix
Egg whites (as per cake mix instructions)
Oil (as per cake mix instructions)
Water (as per cake mix instructions)
For the Topping:
1 and 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and diced
1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional, for sweetening strawberries)
2 boxes (3 ounces each) strawberry jello mix
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream

Instructions:
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, egg whites, oil, and water as directed on the cake mix package.
Use an electric hand mixer to beat the mixture for 2 minutes until it is smooth and creamy.

ake the Cake:
Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour the prepared cake batter into the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Strawberries:
While the cake is baking, clean and dice 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries.
Place the strawberries in a bowl and, if desired, sweeten with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar.

Cool the Cake:
Once the cake has fully baked, allow it to cool for at least 1 hour.

Poke Holes in the Cake:
Use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the cooled cake.

Prepare the Jello:
In a medium bowl, mix together the two boxes of strawberry jello mix with 1 1/2 cups of boiling hot water.
Stir until the jello has completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir for 1 minute.

Pour the Jello:
Pour the jello mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
For a cleaner poke cake look, you can use a spoon to pour the jello directly into the holes.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to set.

Top with Cool Whip:
Remove the cooled cake from the refrigerator.
Spread the Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream evenly across the entire cake using a spatula.
If desired, use the back of a spoon to create a swirling effect on the top of the cake.

Add Strawberries:
Just before serving, top the cake with the diced strawberries.

Conclusion:
And there you have it, your delicious Strawberry Jello Poke Cake is ready to enjoy! The combination of the moist cake, strawberry jello, creamy Cool Whip, and fresh strawberries creates a dessert that's both refreshing and satisfying.
