Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounce funfetti cake mix
  • 2 Tablespoons red Jello
  • 2 Tablespoons green Jello
  • 2 Tablespoons yellow Jello
  • 2 Tablespoons blue Jello
  • 2 Tablespoons purple Jello
  • 1 1/4 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/4 cups cold water
  • 8 ounces frozen whipped topping , thawed
  • rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Bake cake mix in a 9x13 baking pan according to the package instructions and allow to cool completely.
  • Use a wooden skewer to poke holes all over the cake.
  • Place each color of the Jello mix in separate bowls. Add 1/4 cup hot water to each bowl and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Then, stir in 1/4 cup cold water and continue mixing until well combined.
  • Use a syringe or carefully spoon each color of Jello over the cake, alternating the spots you pour the liquid to create a rainbow effect.
  • Place cake pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least four hours.
  • When ready to serve, spread the frozen whipped topping over the top of the cake and decorate with rainbow sprinkles before serving.

Notes

  • Store cake tightly covered with plastic wrap for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer to bake from scratch, use your favorite white cake recipe.
  • Skip the fruit flavors. Divide a can of sweetened condensed into bowls and add food coloring as desired. Pour over cake following the same poke method.
