Sorry but this recipe didn't go over well in my house. It was too processed and sugary for us. It looks so delicious!

I make this with strawberries & it's a favorite wherever I take it. If you want to make a dessert that is refreshing, make this one.

The cake was very good and easy to make. The only change to the instructions I would make is to mix the dry cake mix and the jello thoroughly. I poured the jello mix on top of the cake mix and then added the rest of the ingredients and wound up with clumps of jello that where the consistency of thick fruit leather. I solved the problem by taking out the pieces and mixing them with a small amount of water and microwaving it for a few seconds, stirring it and adding it back to the batter.

I was afraid the frosting would make the cake soggy after storing, so I added a box of instant vanilla pudding mix to make it more stable. Tastes wonderful!

When I went to get the ingredients to make this cake, my store did not have frozen raspberries. I substituted a half pint of fresh raspberries and added an extra 1/4 cup of water. It turned out great! Not to sweet and just a hint of tartness from the fresh berries. I can't wait to make this again and try other combinations!

This recipe was super easy and very tasty. My girls loved it. I kept the frosting in a separate dish in the frig and put a spoonful (or two) on the pieces as we cut them. I was afraid it would be soggy after a day or two. If I was bringing this dessert to a gathering, I would frost it as suggested.

I made this into cupcakes for a graduation order I am making. It will have a light lemon frosting. These are the most beautiful looking cupcakes ever! The texture is perfect, the taste is awesome, and there is nothing that gives away the "cake mix" start that this recipe has. I will definitely be making them in every flavor I can find ingredients for...strawberry, lemon, peach, etc.
