Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. In mixer bowl, pour the gelatin mixture over the dry cake mix. Add the eggs, oil, and strawberries; blend until completely moistened and mixed.

You can frost with your favorite frosting or top each piece with a bit of whipped cream. A fresh strawberry for garnish is a nice touch.
