Jello Poke Cake

One of our 4th of July desserts.....cool and yummy!

Super simple ingredients and yes, I use a lot of store brands!

  

1 box white cake mix

eggs

oil

water

1 small box jello

1 bowl whipped topping, I use light

Using the eggs, oil and water according to package directions, make cake as directed. 

Bake cake as usual. 

During the last few minutes of the baking time, dissolve jello in 1 cup boiling water.

When cake is done, remove from oven and poke holes all over the top using a fork. Do this when the cake is hot out of the oven.

Pour hot jello mixture over cake .

Let cake cool to room temp then refrigerate to cool completely.

After cake gets cold in refrigerator, remove and "frost" with cool whip.

Good summer time dessert. Light and cool. Change the flavor/color of the jello for different occasions. Or go crazy and use 2 colors!
