Ingredients

1 package white cake mix (regular size)

1 package (3 ounces) raspberry gelatin

4 large eggs, room temperature

1/2 cup canola oil

1/4 cup hot water

1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed, undrained

FROSTING:

1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping (4-1/2 cups), thawed

1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed, undrained

Fresh raspberries, optional

Instructions

1 Prepare the batter

2 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine the cake mix, raspberry gelatin, eggs, canola oil and hot water in a large bowl. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds to combine the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium and beat for two minutes until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the thawed raspberries along with their juices.

3 Bake the cake

4 Pour the batter into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in your preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Editor's Tip: Feel free to use cooking spray to prepare your pan so it releases easily once it's cooled.

5 Prepare the frosting

6 In a large bowl, gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the thawed raspberries until well combined. Once the cake is at room temperature spread the frosting evenly over it.

7 Chill and serve

8 Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set. If desired, garnish with fresh berries.
