Jello Cake, Anyone? *

 My son’s wife had a birthday last week, and a friend recommended I make a Jello Cake.  Hmmmm…ok.  So I googled a recipe, and it was big hit!  I made a rectangular chocolate cake, cooled it after taking it out of the oven.  Next, I used a fork to poke holes in it, while I was mixing the jello mixture on the stove in boiling water and then adding the cold water to mixture.  When the jello mixture (cherry flavored) was mixed, I spooned it into the holes in the cake.  (You would think this would make the cake fall apart, but it did not!).  Last, I chilled the cake in the fridge for 3 hours.  After the chilling, I covered the cake with whipped cream for icing.  For an added effect, I topped off the cake with maraschino cherries! I chilled it an additional hour, and it was tasty!

I’ve never had one made with chocolate cake. It would be good.

Came across you at random…this is a staple in my family! We usually use white cake, and any array of Jell-o flavors. Funny, because I made one last night, and my friend who moved here from CA had never heard of it either.

My mom used to make this. Hadn’t thought of it in years.
