▢ 1 pint strawberries with tops removed and strawberries cut in half

Instructions

Make the boxed cake mix according to the directions on the back.
Pour the cake batter into a greased 9 x13 inch pan and bake according to the box directions.
When it is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool.
Once it is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke rows of holes in the cake.
Put thawed strawberries with syrup into a food processor or blender.
Purée a bit.
Pour the strawberry purée mixture over the cake and spread it out evenly.
Let it soak in.
While you are letting the strawberry purée soak in, whisk together cold milk and the instant vanilla pudding mix in a bowl until it thickens.
Fold in the Cool Whip.
