  • White cake pairs well with all flavors of jello making it easy to change the flavor.
  • Only add 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold water to Jell-O powder.
  • Plan ahead to allow enough time for the cake to chill and allow the jello to set.
  • Use a white cake made from scratch, a box mix, or a plain store-bought white cake. Just poke holes, add Jell-O, and chill.
