Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces white cake mix plus ingredients to prepare (1 box)
- 3 ounces lime jello mix
- 3 ounces cherry Jello mix
- 2 cups water divided
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the cake batter into the prepared dish. Bake according to the package time for a 9x13 baking dish.
- Remove the cake from the coven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, about 2-3 hours.
- Using a small wooden spoon, dowel, or fork, poke holes in the top of the cake in rows at 1-inch intervals. (Be sure to clean your poking tool as you go so the holes don't get bigger due to stuck-on cake.)
- Pour the lime jello into one mixing bowl and the cherry jello into a second mixing bowl. Bring the water to a boil and then pour 1 cup of water into each bowl. Whisk until the gelatin has melted.
- Using a spouted measuring cup, pour the lime jello down one column of holes and then cherry down the column next to it. Repeat alternating columns until all the holes are filled.
- Refrigerate the cake for 3-4 hours.
- Spread the Cool Whip all over the top of the cake and then add your favorite Christmas sprinkles over the Cool Whip. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes
- If you prefer to use a homemade cake recipe, this Vanilla Cake Mix recipe is great. Use a 9x13 baking dish as directed and then bake for 25-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
