Steps

1Combine the oil, egg whites, cake mix, and amount of water as directed on the box and mix until combined.
2Pour into a 9x13 baking pan sprayed with baking cooking spray and bake according to package directions (since this can vary slightly per mix)
3Allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
4While cake is cooling, mix the jello with the boiling water until dissolved and add the 1/2 cup of cold water.
5Prick holes in the cake with a large skewer or fork every two inches being careful not to go all the way to the bottom. Pour jello mixture over the cake.
6Refrigerate uncovered overnight, or at least two hours.
7In the bowl of an electric mixer, use a whisk attachment to mix the last 5 ingredients until smooth and fluffy. Spread on the chilled cake. Refrigerate until served. Store in the refrigerator and garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
