INSTRUCTIONS
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch glass baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. [If you prefer a homemade version, see note below]
- Pour cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffy.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the strawberry mousse.
Strawberry Mousse
- In a medium bowl, add 6 oz strawberry jello and 2 cups of boiling water. Stir slowly for one minute to dissolve.
- Stir in 1 cup of cold water and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes, or until it can coat a spoon.
- Add the whipped cream/topping to the jello and mix until smooth. Don't worry if the texture is runny, as it will firm up while setting.
- Once the cake is cool, spread the filling evenly across the cake using a spatula. Rap the pan on the counter a few times to level the filling and remove any trapped air.
- Chill for at least 1 hour on a level surface in your fridge. Meanwhile, make the mirror glaze.
Mirror Glaze
- In a medium bowl, combine 3 oz jello powder with 1 cup boiling water and stir slowly for one minute until dissolved. Stir in ½ cup cold water and set aside to cool.
- Remove the cake from the fridge. Arrange strawberry halves on top of the filling, approx. 4 widthwise by 5 lengthwise.
- Once the jello is lukewarm, carefully pour it over the back of a spoon, dribbling across the top of the filling surface and over the strawberries.
- Chill one more hour to allow the glaze to set. Congratulations, you're done - enjoy!
