JELLO CRAZY CAKE



Jello Crazy Cake image

This recipe was given to me by my Mother-in-law, 50+ years ago... I have made it more times than I can remember. My family always enjoyed no matter what combo I made....and they sometimes wondered if I just opened the pantry and grabbed without looking....heheheheee Enjoy.. this is a cake when you need one FAST!!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 package(s) lemon or yellow cake mix
1 small box(es) lemon jello
4 - eggs
3/4 cup(s) wesson or canola cooking oil
3/4 cup(s) water, room temperature
FROSTING
1 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar
5 tablespoon(s) lemon juice, fresh or bottled

Steps:

  • Mix cake mix, jello, eggs, oil & water with mixer. Pour into greased/floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake 35 min. @ 350 degrees.
  • After removing cake from overn, cool slightly and pour "runny" frosting all over the cake, slowly so it doesn't just run to the sides of the cake.
  • VARIATIONS: This recipe can be changed to any combo of cake mix & jello you like. I have made a lemon cake mix with lime jello... strawberry or white cake mix with strawberry/banana jello.... chocolate cake mix with cherry jello.... white or orange cake mix with orange or orange/pineapple jello.... Play with it and have fun!!!!!!! Flavor the frosting with anything to go with the combo you have done.... :)
  • This wasn't part of the original recipe, but about 5 minutes after I get it out of the oven, I poke multiple holes with a dinner fork, then as I'm pouring the frosting down the center I use the fork to direct the frosting all over the cake... looks like a glaze... I continue in this manner until the bowl of frosting is gone... the cake will have a glossy look to it....

JELL-O® POKE CAKE



Jell-O® Poke Cake image

An old Southern recipe passed down through my grandmother. You can vary the flavor of gelatin used in order to get a specific color for any holiday, e.g. lime for St. Patrick's day. You can top this cake with berries, sprinkles, or any topping of your choice.

JELLO CAKE



Jello Cake image

This is the moistest cake you will ever eat. I love it with strawberry jello and garnished with fresh strawberries. The Cool Whip makes such a pretty pure white and creamy frosting. It was my mom's favorite birthday cake. Prep time is also chill time
