How do you make a jello cake?
My ex-boyfriend's grandma use to always make them. I think she like swirled the jello through the cake like you would a marble cake, but that's about all I remember about it, and that it tastes awesome. I think it was strawberry jello that she used, something red.

at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or
until it tests done then cool on wire rack i think after coooking cake and letting it cool poke holes and pour liquid jello in holes and cool until jello sets.. i think i am not sure.. but experiment yes lost soul is right it is called jello poke cake and I had a recipe for it i found the recipe at jello.com or you can find it at kraft.com either one should have it . good luck. Cook the cake make sure its cooled befor eyou add the jellow. When you add the jello you want it to be starting to jell because other wise it goes to the bottome of the cake and you want it to gel when its through the cake/ Place in the fridge and top with wipe cream when your ready to eat it. Ingredients White cake mixture
One big box or two little boxes of flavored gelatin
Water
Creamy whipped topping
Candy sprinkles
Steps Use a sheet cake (9 x 13) baking pan. Prepare an ordinary white cake mix according to box directions.
Make holes in sheet cake with fork or chopstick when cool. Holes should go all the way through cake to bottom pan. Entire cake should be perforated this way with holes every 1/2 - 3/4 inch.
Prepare a large box of flavored gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water and stir to dissolve completely. Do not chill.
Pour warm gelatin liquid evenly over entire cake. Holes in cake allow gelatin to seep into cake.
Place cake in refrigerator until gelatin firms, about 3 hours.
Spread delicious whipped topping (8 oz thawed) over top of cake and decorate with colorful candy sprinkles.
Yummy! There are two ways to make jello cake.
JELLO CAKE 1 (easy)
Tear an angel food cake into chunks about 2 x 2 inches.
Make your favorite flavor of jello and let it sit in fridge until sirupy. Layer the cake pieces with the jello in a clear glass bowl or casserole dish. Press down when you are finished. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Very good!
JELLO CAKE 2 (My favorite)
Use a white cake mix and make two round cake layers. When done, leave in pans. Mix up your favorite jello. Poke holes in the cake layers with a fork and pour Jello over them. Put cake layers (in pans) in fridge for several hours or overnight. Remove layers from pan, stack on cake plate and put KoolWhip between the layers and on top.
When you slice the cake, the jello colors mingle with the white of the cake. Very pretty!!!!
This is the most refreshing summer dessert you will EVER eat!!
And... It is pretty healthy. I use sugar free Jello and make the cake the fat free way.
IDEAS
4th of July, use blue Jello for one layer and red for another.
Christmas, use green Jello for one layer and red for another
Easter, use several colors to represent easter eggs,
etc.
Birthday cake, be creative and use Jello to create child's (or adult's) favorite colors. make any cake mix u love to bake....While baking mix together corresponding small box of jello with 3/4 cup. hot water and 1/2 cup....cold water while the cake is still warm poke holes with meat for and then pour the jello over the cake and refrigerate. JELLO PUDDING CAKE
white cake
1 large box of strawberry jello
2 cups water
vanilla pudding
milk
cool whip
Make white cake according to directions on the box.
While cake is still hot poke it with holes using the bottom of a wooden spoon. Dissolve Jello in 2 cups of boiling water. Pour over cake. Make sure to get over the entire cake.
Let cool. Make vanilla pudding according to the box directions.
Cover cake with pudding. Cover the pudding layer with a layer of Cool Whip.
This can be made lighter by using apple sauce instead of oil in the cake. Use sugar free Jello and Pudding. Light Cool Whip.
