Easy Strawberry Jello Cake

This Strawberry Jello Cake has to be one of our all-time favorite desserts made with yellow cake, strawberry mousse and a beautiful mirror glaze. It’s perfect for holidays like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, birthdays or a party!

It’s best to pour the jello glaze over the back of a spoon, which helps it to dribble and avoid penetrating your filling. It’s fine to dribble onto the strawberries as well as the filling…

Once the mirror glaze is on, carefully place the entire dish into the fridge to chill for one more hour. Then you’re ready to serve! You can make this cake up to two days in advance, as it keeps nicely in the fridge covered in plastic wrap.

2. Stir in 1 cup of cold water and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes, or until it can coat a spoon.
