Jell O Dive On In Cake Recipes

JELL-O® POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 24 to 29 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Pour cold water into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin mix on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved.
• Poke holes all over the cake using a fork. Pour gelatin mix into the holes. Refrigerate cake until gelatin is set, up to 6 hours.
• Spread whipped topping over cake.

Steps:

• PREPARE and bake cake mix in 13x9-inch baking pan as directed on package.
• Cool completely.
• Invert cake onto large platter; remove pan.
• Using a serrated knife, cut and scoop out a shallow rectangle from center of cake, leaving a 2-inch border of cake on all sides and a thin layer of cake on the bottom.
• Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use.
• STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 minute until completely dissolved.
• Stir in cold water.
• Refrigerate 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). (Shortcut: For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water; stir 8 minute or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression).
• Remove any unmelted ice.
• Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.
• FROST borders of cake with whipped topping.
• Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool.
• Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
• Fun Idea: Insert bite-size fish-shaped and octopus-shaped chewy fruit snacks into gelatin "pool" before refrigerating for an added treat!
