     This recipe is really good. Was a huge hit with the family. What I did to make it more lower in fat is I replaced the oil for applesauce and egg whites instead of whole egg in the cake mix. - 8/18/08

     Another variation is to put a layer of vanilla pudding between the cake and Cool Whip layer. That's how my grandmother always made this cake, and it is delicious. - 5/3/10

     To reduce calories even more, when making the cake just pour in one can of diet soda; mountain dew or 7-up, whatever you like as long as it is diet--DO NOT use oil or eggs, JUST DIET SODA! This makes a very moist and very good cake. I may have to make this for my birthday. I Love Strawberries! - 4/18/09

     Since the nutritional information is really critical to my choices, I will try what some one suggested about using sugar/fat free components. - 6/26/08

     You can use sugar free gelatin and a sugar free cake mix - this will reduce your calorie count even more. - 6/25/08
  • STITCH55
     This is a great recipe but I don't think that the cake mix was added to the nutritional information. - 6/25/08

     Hey this sounds great but could you fix the recipe please? The calorie count only counted the strawberries, and you did not say how many strawberries and you also didn't say the size package of jello to use. This sounds delicious though! - 6/24/08
  • KRAYOLAKID
     I HAVE MADE THIS FOR YEARS. IT IS A FAMILY FAVORITE. ANOTHER VARIATION IS TO MIX A BOX OF INSTANT VANILLA SUGAR FREE PUDDING (USING FAT FREE MILK) THEN STIR IN COOL WHIP. SPREAD ON TOP OF THE JELLO CAKE. TOP WITH SLICED STRAWBERRIES AND FRESH BLUEBERRIES. - 6/24/08
