Equipment

  • 9x13-inch pan
  • thin wooden spoon handle or thick straw
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients required on the packaging

Topping

  • 3 cups strawberry pie filling about 1.5 of a 21-ounce can
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your cake mix according to the directions on its box. Bake it in a 9x13-inch pan until golden, then let it cool completely to room temperature.
  • Once cool, grab a thin wooden spoon handle or a thick straw. Gently poke rows of holes across the entire cake surface, about an inch apart and two-thirds deep. Avoid poking all the way to the bottom.
  • Carefully spread the strawberry pie filling evenly over the poked cake. Use a rubber spatula to gently press the filling down into all the holes, ensuring it seeps in nicely.
  • Spread the thawed whipped topping smoothly over the strawberry filling. Cover the cake and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. This helps it set and become firm.
  • Just before you're ready to serve, arrange the fresh sliced strawberries beautifully on top of the cake. Slice into portions, serve, and enjoy your delightful, easy treat!
