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.
