Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake pans by lining them with wax paper and greasing and flouring them lightly.
-
Prepare the Cake Batter: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to prepare the batter. Once prepared, divide the batter equally into two separate bowls.
-
Add Gelatin: Into one bowl of batter, add the lime gelatin, and into the other bowl, add the lemon gelatin. Stir each batter thoroughly until the gelatin is fully incorporated.
-
Pour Batter into Pans: Pour each flavored batter into its prepared cake pan. Spread the batter evenly to ensure uniform layers.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully remove them from the pans and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are cooled, place the lime-flavored cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the tub of Cool Whip evenly over the top of this layer.
-
Add the Lemon Layer: Carefully place the lemon-flavored cake layer on top of the Cool Whip-covered lime layer.
-
Frost the Cake: Use the remaining Cool Whip to frost the top and sides of the cake generously.
-
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake until you’re ready to serve it. This cake is best enjoyed chilled.
