Instructions

For Cake:

Step 1

Combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl and mix. Beat with a mixer for 2–3 minutes. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spready evenly. Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 34—38 minutes. Use a toothpick to poke a hole in the cake. If the toothpick comes up clean, the cake is done. Poke holes about 1/2-inch apart along the top of the cake and set aside to cool.

For Big Red Sauce:

Step 2

In a 2QT or larger saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Turn off the heat. Add strawberry or cherry-flavored gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Add one (1) can of Big Red and stir. Use a ladle or spoon to pour mixture evenly over the top of the poked cake.

For Whipped Frosting:

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine pudding and milk and whisk until blended. Gently fold cool whip into the pudding mixture and mix until there are no white streaks. Use a spatula to spread pudding and cool whip mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Place in fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
