Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. 2 Blend together cake mix plus extender, water, egg whites, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until just moistened. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 26 to 32 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, combine pureed strawberries and strawberry preserves in a medium bowl. Stir in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice until incorporated. Refrigerate sauce until ready to use.
  5. 5 Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, at least 25 minutes.
  6. 6 Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes into cake about 1 inch apart. Slowly spread sauce over cake, letting it fill the holes. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
