This recipe is great! I made it last night and brought it over for my mom for Mother's Day and she absolutely loves it!

I'll give this a 5 assuming that the 4 cups of water was meant to be 2 for the 3oz of gelatin. The cake alone is very sweet. But with unsweetened slices of strawberry, it's very nice! Much like strawberry shortcake. I made this like a poke cake, poking holes in the cake before pouring on the jello. Thanks for the recipe!

It was too sweet for us. I think it's because of the jello (flavored gelatin). Easy to make so i'll keep this recipe, for the big party but i probably won't crave for this.

This was very good! I used a white cake (which I think had some almond extract in it) so it was very light and fluffy. Not as much of the jello ran into the cake as I would have liked so I think I need to poke bigger holes next time. It also held up well in the fridge for several days after I made it.

I poke holes in the cake and then pour the jello over the cake...I also use a big box of jello and use one cup boiling water and one cup cold..Not too wet when you only use 2 cups total. I also put the smashed strawberries mixed with sugar and put on top of cake then I put cool whip on top of that. Very good.

Even with the reduction of water it turned out a little too moist. Flavor was lacking.

Turned out great for my girlfriends birthday. I did pour the jello over the cake right when the cake came out of the oven.

Like other reviewers, I reduced the water to 2 cups and it was perfect. My family absolutely raved about this cake! And it was so easy, it will be a family favorite from now on.
