This recipe needs help! it has no liquid. The raspberries they used were sweetened with sugar which I didn't find. That would have given the liquid. I used whole frozen raspberries. I took some of the previous suggestions. Use: 1 cake mix, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 1&1/2 oz. gelatin powder (1/2of 3 oz. pkg.), 10 ounces frozen raspberries and 1/2 cup whole milk. Mix as directed. Bake 350 for 20-25 minutes

A really good cake, and easy to make, too. I also used 1/2 cup oil instead of the 2/3 cup and 1 1/2 oz gelatin as someone else mentioned - and the consistency was just right. It's also a particularly good-smelling cake - and such a pretty color!

Great cake!!! I made it with low sugar yellow cake mix by accident, SF jello and it came out delicious. My whole family loved it.

A definite keeper! I made this cake twice...once for my mom's 88th birthday and the next week for my son's 22nd (his request!). The second time I cut the oil back to 1/2 cup and only used 1/2 the amount of sugar-free jello. This seemed to make the cake less dense and more fluffy. I used a double batch of Recipe #6536 to frost the double layer cake. So different, and soooo yummy! MERP'd for My 3 Chefs 09.
