A moist and tender yellow cake soaked with raspberry jello, topped with homemade whipped cream and fresh berries for a creamy, fruity, and refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (120 ml)
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) raspberry jello gelatin mix
  • 1 cup boiling water (240 ml)
  • 2 cups fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, sliced strawberries) (300 g)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (360 ml)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (30 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 32-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cake rest for 10 minutes in the pan until warm but not hot.
  5. Using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the cake about 1 inch apart, deep enough to reach the bottom but not break the cake.
  6. Dissolve jello powder in boiling water, stir until fully dissolved, and let cool slightly without setting.
  7. Slowly pour jello evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  8. Cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
  9. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  10. Spread whipped cream evenly over the chilled cake and scatter fresh berries on top.
  11. Cut into squares and serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

Use fresh berries for best texture and flavor; frozen berries must be thawed and drained well. Chill cake overnight for best results. Avoid pouring hot jello on hot cake to prevent sogginess. Whip cream until soft peaks form to avoid graininess.
