Easy Summer Cake
Here’s another easy summer recipe to bring along to a holiday celebration or birthday party. If you are going to a 4th of July celebration this weekend, take this light, easy, cool summer cake along. It is sure to be a hit and everyone will ask you how you made it!
So easy. You’ll need a box of white cake mix, a box of Jell-O, and a tub of whipped topping. I usually use a raspberry flavored Jell-O, it seems to have the best flavor with the white cake mix. I also get the light whipped topping to cut back on the calories.
Bake the cake according to the directions on the package. A 9 x 13 pan is most commonly used for this cake but you can get creative and make layer cakes or a Bundt. After baking, cool the cake completely. Once cooled & while still in pan, poke holes all over the top of the entire cake with a fork. Mix up the Jell-O according to the directions on the package then pour the Jell-O liquid evenly over the top of the entire cake. Cover with foil and refrigerate over night. When ready to serve, frost cake with whipped topping. You can add fresh strawberries as a garnish, if you like, but this cake is delicious all on its own.
Enjoy!
