1/4- 1/3 cup canola oil

3 large eggs

1 (3 oz) pkg strawberry gelatin

Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x13-inch metal baking pan with the cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix with the oil and eggs according to package directions. Add batter to prepared baking pan. Bake according to package directions. Let cake cool 20 min.
2
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin mix and boiling water and stir until dissolved. Using a chopstick or straw, poke holes all over the cake, pressing halfway through. Pour gelatin mixture all over cake, especially into the holes. Let cool completely.
3
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, in a large bowl, beat the cream, sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla on high 2–3 min., until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream over top of cake. Cover cake and refrigerate 4 hours. Just before serving, top cake with the berries.
