Holiday Poke Cake recipe

This recipe is from an older recipe booklet, Holiday Desserts 1994, Kraft General Foods, 1994.

HOLIDAY POKE CAKE

1 package (18.5 ounces) Pillsbury Plus White Cake Mix
2 cups boiling water
1 package (4-serving size) Jell-O Brand Gelatin, any red flavor
1 package (4-serving size) Jell-O Brand Lime Flavor Gelatin
1 can (16 ounces) Pillsbury Vanilla Frosting Supreme or 1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed

Heat oven to 350°F.

Prepare, bake and cool cake mix as directed on package for 2 (9-inch) round cake layers.  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 2 minutes or until 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 1/4 of the frosting.  Unmold second cake layer; carefully placing on first layer.  Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.  Decorate as desired.
