Have you ever been on Pinterest and pinned the most EPIC-looking desserts on the planet? Then, you decide to be bold enough to *GASP* try to make one only to find out--eh--it's "too much." I honestly feel like the simple recipes are the great recipes, and that's what this is...a simple recipe. This recipe has been around for generations, and I can still remember going to my grandma's house in Stockton and eating this cake. It's simple. It's delicious. It's home.
Ingredients:
1 box of white cake mix
1 box jello (any flavor--strawberry is the best IMO)
1 1/2 cups boiling water
Frosting:
1 tub Cool Whip
1 box instant vanilla pudding
Directions:
Bake white cake as directed on box. Once baked, take out of oven to let cool (5-10 minutes). While the cake is cooling, boil 1 1/2 cups of water. Add jello mix to water and mix well. Poke "holes" into the white cake. You can use a fork or the butt of a wooden spoon (I do both!). Pour jello liquid over white cake. Cover and refrigerate until COMPLETELY cooled. (I'd say about 3-4 hours). Frost with frosting recipe above OR just frost with whip cream only. It's completely up to you! I usually do just whip cream only, but in this super old cookbook I have the recipe calls for the frosting recipe above. ENJOY!
