Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ½ cup oil
- 4 egg whites
- 3 oz box cherry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 12 maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites, mixing on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the greased dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once cooled slightly, poke holes in the cake with a skewer or fork at ½-inch intervals.
- For the Jell-O, dissolve the cherry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1 cup of cold water.
- Pour the Jell-O mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes and let it seep for about 10 minutes.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Spread whipped topping over the cake and garnish with maraschino cherries.
- Cut into slices and serve chilled.
Notes
- Let the cake cool completely before poking holes.
- Poke holes at ½-inch intervals for optimal absorption.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let flavors meld.
- Use cold whipped topping for better stability.
- Experiment with different cake mixes or Jell-O flavors.
