Holiday Poke Cake
Susan,IL

2 baked 9-inch round white cake layers, cooled* (I have made this with a 9 x 13 cake instead)
2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Brand Gelatin Dessert, any red flavor*
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Brand Lime Flavor Gelatin Dessert*
1 tub (8 or 12 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed*

* Or, use lite white cake layers, JELL-O Brand Sugar Free Gelatin Dessert and COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping.

PLACE cake layers, top sides up, in 2 clean 9-inch round cake pans. Pierce cake with large fork at 1/2-inch intervals.

STIR 1 cup of the boiling water into each flavor of gelatin in separate bowls at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Carefully pour red gelatin over 1 cake layer and lime gelatin over second cake layer. Refrigerate 3 hours.

DIP 1 cake pan in warm water 10 seconds; unmold onto serving plate. Spread with about 1 cup of the whipped topping. Unmold second cake layer; carefully place on first cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining whipped topping.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour or until ready to serve. Decorate as desired. Store leftover cake in refrigerator
