Jello Cake

Updated 4/16/11.

1 box yellow or white cake mix

4 oz pckg Jello (any flavor)

1 c boiling water

1/2 c cool water

1 small tub whipped cream

Bake cake as directed on the box (use jellyroll pan or 9x13 pan). Cool cake 20 minutes. While cake is cooling, prepare the Jello using water amounts listed above (if using 9x13 pan you might want to double the Jello and water). Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake at 1/2" intervals. Pour liquid Jello evenly over cake covering all holes. Chill 3-4 hours. Frost with whipped cream.

For St. Patrick's Day, use green Jello. Bake cake in a jellyroll pan (a large cookie sheet with sides) for a thinner cake.
