Dessert Week Continues!

Today's recipe:

Jello Poke Cake!

Mmm this is REALLY good! Very easy to make, and so versitile, you can do any combination you want. Below are just a few ideas, but mmm I'm sure all would be good!

Ingredients needed:
A Baked Cake
2 cups boiling water
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip topping

Cake/Jello flavor combo ideas:

Cake Flavor: Jello Flavor:
White :Any! Use different flavors for different holidays for pretty looks!
Yellow: Berry Blue, Lime, Orange
Lemon: Lime
Spice: Orange
Chocolate: Cherry, Strawberry

Now..follow these simple steps for a yummy cake!

Bake any cake of choice according to directions on box. You can make 2 9-inch rounds, a 9" x 13", or even cupcakes! Let the cake cool. Once cake has cooled, pierce cakes with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals.

Next, stir 2 cups of boiling water into 2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Brand Gelatin in medium bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Carefully pour gelatin evenly over cake layers. Refrigerate 3 hours.

Dip one of the cake pans in warm water 10 sec.; unmold onto serving plate. Spread with about 1 cup of the whipped topping. Unmold second cake layer; carefully place on first cake layer. Frost top and side of cake with remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Decorate as desired. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.

A LOWFAT VERSION:
Use Angel food cake, sugar-free Jello, and fat-free Cool Whip! Yum!

Also, you can use some food coloring (i'd say just a drop or 2, depending on how much coloring you want!) in the Cool Whip. Make it pretty! Garnish/decorate with fresh fruit.

Trust me..this is GOOD!
