Instructions
Prepare the cake batter as instructed on the box and pour it into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
Dissolve the raspberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add cold water to cool the mixture.
Use the end of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes evenly across the entire surface of the cooled cake. Ensure the holes go all the way to the bottom.
Slowly pour the prepared gelatin mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills all the holes. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the gelatin sets.
Spread whipped cream or whipped topping evenly over the cake once the gelatin is set.
Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly over the whipped cream and arrange fresh raspberries on top for decoration.
Cut the cake into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the light, fruity, and creamy dessert!
Notes
For a fun twist, try using strawberry gelatin or adding a drizzle of raspberry syrup on top before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
