Bake the white cake according to the instructions.

While cake is baking, mix jello with 2 cups boiling water. Set aside.

After taking cake out of the oven, poke the surface with a skewer (we used a chopstick). Poke holes all over the surface.

$Spoon the jello/water mixture over the entire surface of the cake. You won't think the cake can handle all that liquid, but it does \ud83d\ude04$

Let the cake cool completely.

Mix the juice from the strawberries and the Cool Whip. Frost the cake with the Cool Whip/strawberry mixture. Cover loosely & refrigerate 3+ hours (overnight is best).
