Ingredients

cooking spray
1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix (such as Duncan Hines® Lemon Supreme)
2 ¼ cups water, divided
3 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
½ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip®), thawed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and juice in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 21 to 26 minutes.
Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Pour in strawberry gelatin mix and stir until dissolved. Mix in 1/4 cup cold water.
Use a fork to poke holes all over the cake. Pour gelatin mixture all over the cake. Refrigerate until completely cool, at least 1 hour.
Combine lemon pudding mix and milk until slightly thickened. Fold in whipped topping. Top cake with the pudding mixture. Keep refrigerated.
