Christmas Jello Poke Cake

Step 1

Make sure to use a non-stick baking spray and coat the cake pans well when you make your cakes. Make the cake mix as directed and bake in 2 round pans (8" or 9").

Step 2

Once cakes are cooled, remove them from the pans they were baked in and completely wash and dry the pans before putting the cakes back into the pans. Pierce each cake with a large fork at 1/2 inch intervals.

Step 3

Place the red and green jello mixes in separate bowls and add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor. Stir each for about 2 minutes or until jello is completely dissolved. Slowly pull the red gelatin over 1 cake layer and pour the green jello over the other cake. Refrigerate the cakes in the pans for at least 3 hours.

Step 4

Fill a large bowl or your kitchen sink with a few inches of really warm water. Place the bottom of the cake pan in the warm water for about 10-20 seconds to loosen the cake from the pan and invert the cake onto a plate. Spread about 1 cup of the Cool Whip on top of one of the layers and then place the other one on top. Spread the remaining Cool Whip all over the top and sides of the layered cake.

Step 5

Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. (Can add some sprinkles or any type of decoration to the top).
