1/4 Cup Sugar

6oz Strawberry Jell-O Mix

2 Cups Water

8oz Cool Whip

In a glass 9x13 pan, break cake into large chunks (1-2 inch) and spread across the bottom. Set aside.

Remove strawberry tops, and slice. In a large bowl, mash strawberries with sugar strawberries with sugar. Set aside.

Bring 2 cups of hot water to a boil. Stir in Jell-O packet. Careful add Jell-O water to strawberries and mix. Set a side 1/4 cup of strawberry Jell-O mix, pour the remaining in the angel food cake pan. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until Jell-O is mostly solidified.
