🥄 Ingredients:

• 2 cups boiling water 🌊
• 2 packs red gelatin 🍒
• 1 pack lime gelatin 🍈
• 1 box of your favorite white cake mix 🎂
• 12 oz Cool Whip (thawed) ❄️

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Layers: Begin by placing the cake layers, top side up, in two 9″ round cake pans. This sets the stage for the delicious layers that follow.

2. Poke and Infuse: With an artistic touch, pierce the cake with a large fork at 1/2″ intervals. This step is crucial for letting the vibrant flavors seep into every nook and cranny.

3. Gelatin Magic: In separate bowls, stir 1 cup of boiling water into each flavor of gelatin. Witness the magic as the gelatin dissolves, creating a symphony of colors – one in striking red, the other in refreshing lime.

4. Pour and Refrigerate: Carefully pour the red gelatin over one cake layer and the lime gelatin over the other. Let the layers chill in the refrigerator for a magical 3 hours, allowing the gelatin to set and the flavors to meld.

5. Unmold and Assemble: Dip one cake pan in warm water for 10 seconds, then unmold it onto a serving plate. Spread about 1 cup of the luscious Cool Whip over the exposed layer.

6. Double Delight: Unmold the second cake layer and place it gracefully on top of the first. It’s a double delight that promises layers of flavor and texture.

7. Frost and Chill: Cover the assembled cake with the remaining Cool Whip, creating a pillowy frosting that’s as delightful as a winter snowfall. Refrigerate until the cake is ready to steal the spotlight.

8. Serve and Enjoy: When the time is right, bring out your masterpiece, slice into the layers of goodness, and serve a piece of pure joy to your guests. Watch their faces light up with delight!
