Notes
Tips:
- For a fun flavor change, swap out the strawberry Jello for another flavor, and use fresh fruit on top to match!
- You can substitute butter and milk for the oil and water on the cake box directions if you like. It will produce a richer flavor!
- It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
- When you’re pouring the cream into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles and make sure the cream fills the holes completely.
