Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the cake ingredients and mix for 2 minutes by hand or with a mixer. Follow baking instructions on the box for a 9x13 pan.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- While cake is cooling, mix together the first jello package with 1 cup boiling water, then stir in 1/2 cup cold water. The Jell-O mixture needs to remain in liquid form for dispensing, so don't refrigerate before adding to cake. Make a bunch of holes in the cake using the handle end of a butter knife.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a butter knife to poke holes in the cooled cake.
- Using a child's medicine dispenser, add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the Jello into every other hole.
- When finished, repeat steps with the second color of Jell-O. Cover cake and refrigerate until ready to serve (at least 1 hour).
For the Frosting:
- Using a hand mixer, thoroughly blend the frosting ingredients.
- Once the cake is cold, spread the frosting evenly over the cake.
- If topping with fruit, wash and dry fruit well. Slice strawberries.
- Just before serving, top with fruit or sprinkles.
