**Jello Cake Allrecipes**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 box (18.25 oz) white cake mix
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 package (3 oz) Jello gelatin (any flavor)
– 1 cup cold water
– 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan, or use non-stick baking spray to prepare the pan.
2. Prepare the white cake mix according to the instructions on the packaging. Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
3. Bake the cake in the preheated oven following the recommended baking time on the cake mix box. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake to check for doneness – if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. While the cake is cooling, combine the boiling water and the Jello gelatin powder in a mixing bowl. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. Add the cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Let the mixture cool slightly.
6. Using a fork or toothpick, poke holes in the surface of the baked cake. Make sure the holes are evenly spaced and reach about three-quarters of the way through the cake.
7. Slowly pour the gelatin mixture over the cake, making sure to cover the entire surface. The holes you’ve made will allow the gelatin to seep into the cake, creating a beautiful mosaic of flavors once set.
8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is fully set. The cake will absorb the Jello, creating a moist and flavorful dessert.
9. Once the cake has set, spread the whipped topping over the top in an even layer. You can get creative with your decoration, swirling the topping for a decorative touch.
10. Slice the cake into squares and serve chilled. The vibrant colors and flavors of the Jello Cake will delight your taste buds and bring a fun, whimsical element to any gathering.
