Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15.25 ounce box White Cake Mix
- Ingredients as needed per the cake mix box (typically 1 cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 3 egg whites)
- 1 3 ounce box Cherry Jell-O
- 1 3 ounce box Lime Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water, divided
- 1 cup cold water, divided
- 1 8 ounce tub of Cool Whip
- ¼ cup Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease your baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix the Cake Batter Combine the white cake mix with the additional ingredients listed on the box—typically water, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Follow the mix instructions to ensure a smooth batter.
- Bake Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 29-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, which should take around 20-30 minutes.
- Poke Holes Once cooled, use a fork to poke rows of holes across the entire cake.
- Prepare the Jell-O Make the Cherry and Lime Jell-Os in separate bowls. Dissolve each Jell-O in half a cup of boiling water and then mix in half a cup of cold water into each. Stir well.
- Add Jell-O to Cake Spoon the Cherry and Lime Jell-O mixtures alternately over the cake, allowing the Jell-O to seep into the holes.
- Chill the Cake Refrigerate the cake until it is completely set, at least 1 hour.
- Frost Evenly spread the Cool Whip over the top of the completely chilled cake.
- Final Chill Chill the frosted cake in the refrigerator for at least another hour, preferably overnight, to fully set before serving.
