This recipe was great. I used the two cups of water as most of the others suggested and it was perfect. Will make this again. Thanks!

Perfect light summer cake! Another tip: 4 cups of water is for 6 oz of gelatin. Recipe calls for 3 OZ!! Therefore, you only need 2 cups of water. Definitely will make again... thanx!

AMAZING CAKE! What a hit. I did like others suggested and only used 2c of water. The cake looked beautiful and tasted light and sweet. I added some coconut flakes to the border of the frosting which was a nice added treat, but didn't overpower because I didn't put it on the whole cake. Definitely a keeper!

When I first tried this cake the first time, I was short on time. I spread the whipped topping while the cake was still warm. The topping melted on the cake and it did not look pretty. Nevertheless, it still tasted great. I definately recommend putting the whipped topping after the cake has cooled off. I have since tried it a second time and waited on spreading the frosting and it made a huge difference on appearance. It tastes great!

And oh my gosh is it an amazing!! This cake might last 1 day at our house tops! :-)

Wow delicious! It was easy and it tasted healthy, not a heavy dessert. Will definitly make this recipe again, and try it with white cake with a different flavored gelatin. I had yellow cake mix and I bought a 6oz box of strawberry gelatin (counldn't find 3oz at the store). Per other reviews I also used 2 cups of water (1 hot, 1 cold). I put all 6oz on the cake and it still tasted delicious! I also poked holes into my cake before I added the gelatin, and refrigerated it for 3 hours. Thank you the recipe.

I used 2 cups of water not 4. I also mixed some cream cheese with the whipped topping. I cut strawberry's in half and coated with powered sugar - placed in fridge overnight then poured the strawberry juice over cake before covering with whipped topping mixture. It came out very moist and yummy! I also used strawberry cake mix.

This was a very good cake. I had to use white cake mix but I like the way it looked! Also only used the 2 cups of water. There are so many different ways you could make this cake. Next Time I'm going to do a lemon cake with maybe a lime or orange jello. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Great Cake, easy to make! I only had an hour to let it sit in the fridge once I poured on the jello- and it still came out great! (The recipe directions confused me when it said 4 cups water for jello b/c the 3oz. jello called for 2 cups- so I followed the box direction).

Incredibly moist is right. How sad that I made this in a rush without reading the reviews! The flavor of my cake was nice, but I could literally hear a "squish" sound when took a bite. It's not inedible, but definitely be sure to use 2 cups of water instead of 4. The whipped topping was great, and strawberry slices made it even better.

I agree with the other reviewers - use the amount of water according to the gelatin box. My cake is mushy, but it tastes good! I'm going to serve it anyway because it's more like pudding and the whipped topping and strawberries will make it even more delicious. Next time I'll decrease the water to 2 cups.

I made this cake twice. The first time it came out perfect! The second time, it was too wet. I think I figured it out though, you have to gauge how many holes you poke into the cake. Too many will make the cake too wet and ruin it. Other than that I L-O-V-E this recipe. I also used Raspberry jello... it was awesome!

Terrific! I used yellow cake mix because I wanted the "marble" look. It was tasty and gorgeous at the same time. Two things I did differently was to poke holes after the cake was baked with a fork and used only 2 cups of water for the gelatin. I was able to make the recipe healthier by substituting the oil for applesauce, eggs for eggbeaters, sugarfree jello mix and fat free coolwhip. Definitely a keeper!

This is light and delicious, a perfect summer dessert. As many other people mentioned it works best with only the water directions given on the jello package though. I tried it twice, once with a strawberry flavored cake mix, and once with a white cake mix. I much preferred it with the strawberry cake mix. Although the white cake mix was pretty with the strawberry jello running through it, it was also kind of dull.

This just wasn't great. I expected more from it. It was like a refrigerated strawberry cake mix. Not good to us at all! Try the lemon cooler cream cake instead. I think that is a superior recipe. I won't make this again. Sorry!
