the ice cream truck for one of those
0:13
strawberry shortcake ice cream
0:16
bars has that cake on the inside with
0:19
the ice cream and then it has that
0:22
crunch on the outside let's make it
0:25
let's start with the ingredients and go
0:27
over those you're going to need one box
0:30
of white cake mix got to make it easy
0:33
plus don't forget the ingredients on the
0:36
back of the package your water eggs and
0:39
oil
0:42
vanilla powdered
0:44
sugar heavy whipping
0:47
cream cream
0:49
cheese butter some
0:54
strawberries packets of
1:00
Jell-O
1:03
salt and then you're going to want
1:06
cookies these are the yellow sandwich
1:09
cookies i'm using the golden
1:15
Oreos first thing we're going to start
1:17
with let's make the cake we're going to
1:20
start in a large mixing bowl we're going
1:22
to place one box of classic white cake
1:26
mix into the bowl this is 15.25
1:29
ouncez size now it's not going to really
1:31
matter on the size of your cake box okay
1:35
now we're going to make this per the
1:37
directions on the back of the box
1:39
or you can make it bakery style which is
1:43
how I always like to make my box cake
1:47
mixes so to that we're going to add one
1:51
cup of milk this replaces the one cup of
1:59
water we're going to crack in four eggs
2:03
now this will replace the three eggs for
2:06
a regular cake
2:17
two
2:20
three and four should do it in a small
2:23
bowl that way you make sure no shells go
2:25
into your dish okay to that we're going
2:28
to add in one stick of melted butter now
2:32
you want to cool it down just a little
2:33
bit that way you don't scramble the eggs
2:35
inside your mixture there all
2:40
right we're going to put our hand mixer
2:42
together we're going to beat this for
2:43
two
2:47
minutes about halfway through just take
2:50
a
2:51
spatula and pull down your
2:59
sides all right we're done look how
3:02
fluffy that looks
3:05
you're going to need a 9 by13 baking
3:07
dish i'm going to spray it with some
3:09
non-stick cooking spray now I use this
3:13
right here it has flour in it and it
3:15
really helps release cakes out of baking
3:18
dishes that's what it is right
3:24
there now we're going to pour our
3:26
mixture
3:32
in and then we're going to spread it out
3:41
evenly we want it to cook evenly so make
3:44
sure you got a nice
3:47
balance now we're going to cook this per
3:50
the directions on the back of your cake
3:51
mix box okay i've got my oven preheated
3:54
at 350°
3:56
i'm going to bake this per the size of
3:58
the pan which is a 13 by9 and it's going
4:01
to take me about 23 to 28 minutes till
4:03
we get this nice and fluffy it's going
4:05
to pull away from the edges of the pan
4:08
then you can also stick a toothpick into
4:10
the center and it should come out clean
4:12
and we'll be back okay I've pulled the
4:14
cake out of the oven doesn't that look
4:16
nice and golden on top it's pulled away
4:18
from the edges i even did the toothpick
4:22
test we're going to let this sit until
4:25
it cools completely then we're going to
4:27
finish the cake now that we've cooled
4:30
down the
4:31
cake we're going to poke some holes in
4:33
it now you can use a skewer or you can
4:37
use a chopstick like I have here and
4:39
we're going to poke holes you don't want
4:41
to go all the way through the cake okay
4:43
just go about 2/ird of the way through
4:46
the cake and we're going to do about
4:48
half inch spaces between the holes
5:03
let's make a package of strawberry
5:05
Jell-O this is a 3 oz
5:09
size you're going to need a small
5:11
saucepan we're going to put it over
5:13
medium
5:15
heat we're going to add half a cup of
5:19
water and then we're going to add the
5:21
box of Jell-O strawberry gelatin
5:31
here we're going to whisk this
5:33
together until the gelatin has
5:38
dissolved takes about 2
5:40
minutes we're going to bring this to a
5:42
boil over high
5:45
heat we're going to turn it off
5:48
we're going to add half a cup of very
5:50
cold
5:56
water all right I'm going to take it off
5:58
the heat and then I'm going to pour it
5:59
into a measuring
6:05
cup we're going to pour our Jell-O
6:08
mixture all over the cake aiming for the
6:10
holes
6:16
we want to make sure it gets nice and
6:18
saturated in those
6:25
holes okay we're going to place this in
6:27
the refrigerator for 2 hours we have to
6:30
let that Jell-O set up inside of the
6:32
cake and then we have a few layers that
6:34
are going to come together pretty
6:35
quickly that we're going to finish this
6:37

6:43
cups of heavy whipping cream i'm going
6:45
