Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • For the cake:
  • 1 box 16.25 oz White Cake Mix (I used Betty Crocker)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. sour cream
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • For the strawberry sauce:
  • 1 box 3 oz strawberry gelatin
  • 1 c. strawberry soda
  • Pudding layer:
  • 1 box 3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding and pie filling (made according to package directions and let it set up in the fridge)
  • 1 tub 8 oz whipped topping (or make fresh whipped cream)
  • Fresh strawberries for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Spray a 9"x13" pan with nonstick baking spray.
  3. Prepare the cake batter by mixing together cake mix, eggs, vanilla, milk, sour cream and vegetable oil in the bowl of an electric mixer, just until combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  5. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes (every oven is different, so check it often to prevent overbaking). Check with a toothpick inserted into the center. When it comes out with moist crumbs, it's done.
  6. Let the cake cool completely on a cooling rack. While the cake is cooling, prepare the pudding according to package directions and allow it to set up for at least a few minutes in the fridge. Use a fork to poke holes into the cake.
  7. Prepare the strawberry sauce by stirring together strawberry gelatin packet and strawberry soda until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour over the cake evenly.
  8. Spread prepared vanilla pudding over the cake. Spread whipped topping or whipped cream over the pudding. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  9. Just before serving, top with sliced fresh strawberries. Slice and enjoy.
