Ingredients

  • Gluten free Betty Crocker Cake Mix (plus ingredients stated on box: eggs, butter, water, vanilla extract)
  • 6 cups strawberries, sliced
  • Two 3 oz boxes of vanilla instant pudding (plus ingredients stated on box: 2 cups of cold milk per box)
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F and spray the bottom of a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix as directed on box with the eggs, butter, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly combined and there are no more lumps.
  3. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake as directed on package, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Once it is done baking, remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes or longer. If you want a cooler and firmer cake (easier to cut into squares), you can put it in the fridge to chill some more after it has cooled on the rack for a bit.
  5. Prepare the pudding as per package instructions with cold milk. Mix until thickened and then set aside.
  6. Wash and slice the strawberries and place into bowl.
  7. Then cut the cooled cake into small squares.
  8. Now it’s time to assemble the mason jars. Add the cake, strawberry slices, pudding, and layer it any way you want. Top with more strawberry slices and some whipped cream. Serve and enjoy!
