- Ready In:
- 1hr 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
12-14
ingredients
- 1 (2 ounce) box Jello gelatin
- 1 (18 ounce) box cake mix (yellow or white)
- 3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
- 1⁄3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
- 1 1⁄3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
- 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip or 1 pint heavy whipping cream
directions
- Bake the cake by following the directions on the box for a 13 X 9 pan.
- When the cake is done pull it from the oven and prepare the jello using the quick method (with Ice), and set aside to prepare the cake.
- To prepare the cake, take a wooden ka-bob stick or a meat fork and poke holes in the cake about 1/2 inch apart all over the top of the cake, with the cake still in the pan.
- When you are done poking holes slowly pour the jellow all over the top of the cake.
- If the jello has started to harden the warm cake will soften it enough to seep into the cake.
- If the jello is still warm and liquidy when you add it to the cake it will make it soggy.
- Place the cake in the refridgerator overnight to let the cake cool and the jello solidify.
- When the cake is ready, top the cake with the cool whip or if you feel daring make about the same amount of whipped whipping cream and top with that.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Lab Chef
United States
As my moniker might display, I am a chef and I work in a laboratory. I have working a healthcare lab for the past 18 years. With the exception of the two years that took a break and went culinary school. Let me tell you, working with food is fun, but it really does not pay the bills. So I went back into healthcare. Now I just cook for my friends and family.
One thing that I learned in culinary school is once you have the techniques of cooking, you can cook just about anything. I am not saying go out and spend tens of thousands of dollars on culinary school. But try to learn as much about cooking techniques as you can, take a class at your local continuing education location, read a lot, there are many great teaching cooking shows (Good Eats), and of course there is always YouTube. But most of all, cook what you love, and have fun. Do not let cooking be a "I have 30 minutes to make a meal before I have to do X." Cook on your days off or weekends, play some music, have some wine, but have fun. If it does not turn out, do not get mad, but try to figure out why it did not turn out. It usually either a bad recipe, or bad technique.
