Jello Cake

This is an easy and tasty recipe. I used white cake mix and strawberry jello, but as the other reviewers suggest, this recipe has infinite possibilities. I've found it isn't even necessary to add the cold water to the jello before drizzling over the cupcakes. It's fine just with the hot water, thus saving one more step. I also make mine into cupcakes rather than a traditional layer cake. The recipe makes about 22 cupcakes filling them 2/3 of the way, and they're done baking in about 15 minutes. I also fold a package of vanilla pudding in with the light cool whip when making the frosting and tint with gel food coloring according to my fancy and then pipe it onto the cupcakes. These cupcakes are always gone in minutes and everyone asks for the recipe.

This is such a good recipe. I've made this many ways, but our favorite has to be lemon cake with lime jello.....so refreshing and good. I will continue to make this using all different kinds of combinations....thats what makes this recipe so versitile. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

I think I was probably around 7 years old the first time I made a Jello cake! I prefer mine with yellow cake mix and strawberry jello. We always made our "frosting" from a package of Vanilla pudding with Cool Whip folded in. At any rate, I had to review this because it's one of my favorite cakes. I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but this cake isn't too sweet and cloying and is so refreshing on a summer day. It's nice to see this old favorite posted here.
