- 3 large eggs
- 1 box of flavored Jello (any color/flavor)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 container of whipped topping (8 oz)
- Fresh fruit for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth and pour into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake as directed and allow to cool completely.
- Make the Jello: In a separate bowl, dissolve the Jello powder in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- Poke the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, use a fork or skewer to poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake.
- Pour the Jello: Slowly pour the prepared Jello mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
