- 1 box white cake mix (plus eggs, water, and oil as directed on box)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ½ (3-ounce) box strawberry Jello gelatin
- ½ (3-ounce) box lime Jello gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water (divided)
- 1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
- Holiday sprinkles for decoration
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix white cake mix, eggs, water, and oil (or butter) until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 28–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly over the cake, about 1 inch apart, without going through the bottom.
- In two small bowls, dissolve the strawberry and lime Jello separately, each in ½ cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Spoon both gelatin mixtures over the cake, alternating red and green sections for a festive look.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the Jello is fully set and the cake is cold.
- Spread the thawed Cool Whip evenly over the chilled cake and decorate with holiday sprinkles.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your vibrant, refreshing Christmas dessert!
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding Jello to avoid melting.
- Experiment with different Jello flavors for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
