Ingredients
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 package of strawberry Jell-O (3 oz)
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup of whipped topping
- 1 cup of crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup of melted butter

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool.
- Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake with a fork.
- Prepare the strawberry Jell-O according to package instructions, then pour it over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the Jell-O to set.

- Spread the whipped topping over the set Jell-O layer, then sprinkle with graham cracker mixture and fresh strawberries on top.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother batter. Don’t over-mix the cake batter to keep it light and fluffy.
