This recipe was given to me by a co-worker, and it gets rave reviews every time. I've tried it with other fruits, including blueberries, cherries, and peaches. All work out great. — Michele Trachier, Pasadena, Texas

Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size)
1-1/3 cups water
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 egg

1 package (.6 ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened whole strawberries, thawed, drained and sliced

1 carton (16 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
10 fresh strawberries, halved

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, applesauce, egg whites and egg; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.

2. Pour into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

3. In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in strawberries. Using a sharp knife, cut a diamond pattern across top of hot cake; immediately pour gelatin mixture over cake. Cool on a wire rack.

4. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Spread with whipped topping. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
