Two Flavor Jell-O Rainbow Cake

January 16

1 white cake mix
2 packages – 3oz each – Jello, any two flavors
2c boiling water
1 – 8oz – container of Cool whip or other icing

Bake white cake as directed in two – 9” cake pans. Cool completely.

Clean cake pans, and place cooled cakes in them. Prick each cake with fork at ½“intervals.

Dissolve each flavor of Jell-O separately in 1c of boiling water and carefully spoon each over one of the cake layers. Chill for 3 – 4 hours.

Dip one cake pan in warm water for 10 seconds and turn out onto serving plate. Top with 1 cup icing. Un-mold second cake layer and place carefully on first layer. Frost everything. Chill and Garnish.

Notes: Found this in an ancient magazine, but the photo looked very appealing for kids. When sliced, the Jello looks like large color drippings inside the cake. Can’t wait to try it for our son’s birthday. We’ll be doing red and blue – whatever flavors they may be. :)

    I was just reminiscing about this cake with my mother! She made this when I was a kid, and it was always my favorite! She lost the recipe, but told me it came from an old Family Circle magazine. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!

    I remember it too when I was growing up my mom made this and we loved it. Very light and tangy cake(depending what jello you use) She made it with cherry and lime and would take to Christmas parties! I was telling someone at work about it and they wanted me to make it-so I am so glad you have the recipe posted I couldn’t remember all the details I knew it was pretty simple-thanks!

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
