Ingredients

  • 1 pkg white cake mix + ingredients to prepare
  • 1 pkg lime jello 3 oz
  • 1 pkg blue raspberry jello 3 oz
  • 1 pkg cherry jello 3 oz
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 8 oz. container of whipped topping or 3 cups homemade whipped cream, sweetened
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Make cake mix according to package and using a 9-inch x 13-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake as directed.
  • Let cake completely cool. Poke in rows using a small wooden spoon, dowel or two pronged fork at 1/2-1" intervals. I found the cake stuck to the wooden spoon so you have to clean it regularly of cake or your holes would get too large.
  • Pour one cup of boiling water into each of the jello and stir to dissolve. Pour each row with a different colored jello using a spouted measuring cup. I didn't use all the jello. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Top with whipped topping and sprinkles and refrigerate again for a few hours. Serve chilled.
