Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients
- 3 oz box lime Jello
- 3 oz box cherry Jello
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
- Red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare white cake according to package directions, ensuring all ingredients are properly measured.
- Pour cake batter into thoroughly greased 9×13 baking pan, spreading evenly.
- Bake cake following package time and temperature instructions until a toothpick comes clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for approximately 20 minutes until just warm to the touch.
- Create evenly spaced holes throughout the entire cake surface using a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Prepare lime Jello using 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water, stirring until the crystals dissolve.
- Prepare cherry Jello using the same modified water measurements as lime Jello.
- Carefully pour the green Jello over one half of the cake, ensuring the liquid fills the holes.
- Pour the red Jello over the remaining half of the cake, again filling the holes completely.
- Refrigerate the cake for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight to allow the Jello to set properly.
- Remove from the refrigerator and spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly across the entire surface.
- Decorate the top with red and green sprinkles in a festive pattern.
- Return to the refrigerator until ready to serve. Cut into squares when serving, wiping the knife between cuts.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the Jello to prevent it from melting. You can use different flavors of Jello for personalization.
