Use A White Cake Mix For This Jello Cake

1 Small Package Jello ~ any flavor
1 Package White Cake Mix

Dissolve Jello in 3/4 Cup of boiling water ~ add 1/2 Cup of cold water and set aside. Mix and bake the cake as directed in a 13 X 9 pan for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.

Also Known As Poke Cake

Some call this poke cake because of this next step:

Poke deep holes into the cake with a toothpick or a meat fork (I prefer the meat fork) about 1" apart. Try not to poke all the way through the cake though.

Slowly pour Jello over the cake so it will run down into the holes you have made. Then refrigerate.
