Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to package using a greased and floured 13-in. × 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

2. Cool cake on a wire rack for 3-5 minutes. Poke holes in cake with a large fork or wooden skewer. Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water, and gradually pour gelatin over cake. Cool for 15 minutes.

3. Cover and refrigerate cake for 30 minutes. Hull and cut the strawberries in half and then slice. If the strawberries are large cut them into thirds before slicing. In a medium size bowl combine the strawberry glaze and the sliced strawberries, mix and set aside.

4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread over the cake. Top with strawberry mixture and spread evenly over frosting.

5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
