Instructions

  1. Place cake layers top side up in two 9-inch round cake pans. Pierce cake layers with a large fork at 1/2 inch increments.
  2. Stir 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of the gelatin in separate bowls for 2 minutes or until dissolved.
  3. Carefully pour 1 gelatin over 1 cake layer and the other gelatin over the second cake layer.
  4. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
  5. Dip 1 pan in warm water for 10 seconds; unmold onto a serving plate.
  6. Spread with 1 cup of whipped topping.
  7. Unmold the second layer and carefully place it on top of the first layer.
  8. Frost with remaining whipped topping.
  9. Garnish as desired.
  10. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For the most eye-catching results, choose contrasting Jello colors with good visibility against the white cake. Dark colors like cherry, grape, and berry blue create the most dramatic effect. Also, letting the Jello cool slightly before pouring (about 5 minutes) helps prevent it from soaking into the cake too much while still ensuring it fills the holes.
