Description

A festive and moist vanilla cake filled with colorful pastel gelatin and topped with fluffy whipped frosting.


Ingredients

Scale

1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix (plus ingredients required by the box)
1 package (3 oz) Strawberry Gelatin
1 package (3 oz) Lime Gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup Easter sprinkles
1 cup mini chocolate Easter eggs


Instructions

Step 1: Bake the white cake in a 9x13 inch pan according to the package directions.
Step 2: Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes until it is warm but not hot.
Step 3: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes across the top of the cake every inch.
Step 4: Dissolve each flavor of gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water in separate bowls.
Step 5: Slowly pour the gelatin into the holes, alternating colors for a festive look.
Step 6: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the gelatin to set into the cake.
Step 7: Spread the whipped topping over the surface and decorate with sprinkles and chocolate eggs.

Notes

For best results, use a white cake mix to make the gelatin colors really stand out. Do not use sugar-free gelatin as it may not set with the same vibrancy.
