Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350�F.

  2. Prepare the cake pan by lightly coating the bottom with a non-stick cooking spray.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until moistened. Use a mixer on Medium speed for 2 minutes to beat the mixture.

  4. Pour the batter into the cake pan and spread it evenly.

  5. Bake the cake in the oven until a toothpick comes out clean, or for a 13X9 inch pan, approximately 34-38 minutes. However, check after 24-26 minutes as it may be ready sooner.

  6. Allow the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes before adding the frosting. While the cake is cooling, use a toothpick to poke holes about 1/2 inch apart, going all the way down to the bottom of the pan. Make sure to poke the holes directly up and down.

  7. In a medium pan, boil 1 cup of water for the Strawberry JELL-O mix. Once boiled, remove from heat and allow the JELL-O to dissolve. Then, add 1 can of Big Red Coke to the JELL-O mixture.

  8. Pour this JELL-O mixture evenly onto the cake using a ladle or a big spoon. For additional flavor, pour a can of Big Red coke on top of the cake as well. Start pouring in the middle, and the JELL-O mixture will naturally spread
