Description
A festive and colorful cake perfect for celebrations, featuring layers of Jell-O and whipped topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberry Jell-O
- 1 cup blue raspberry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then poke holes all over the top using a fork or skewer.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Add ½ cup of cold water and mix well. Pour half of the strawberry Jell-O mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- In another bowl, dissolve the blue raspberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Add ½ cup of cold water and mix well. Pour the blue raspberry Jell-O mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes as well.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries and blueberries, and add whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, consider adding a layer of fresh fruit between the cake and whipped topping.
- You can substitute the Jell-O flavors with any other colors to match different holidays or celebrations.
