Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 ounces white cake mix plus ingredients to prepare according to package instructions
  • 6 ounces raspberry-flavored gelatin mix
  • 6 ounces lime-flavored gelatin mix
  • 2 cups boiling water divided
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
  • Christmas sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake as directed and allow the cake to cool completely.
  • Prepare the gelatin mixes in two separate bowls or measuring cups. Mix 1 cup of boiling water with the lime-flavored gelatin and stir until dissolved. In a second bowl, mix 1 cup of boiling water with the raspberry-flavored gelatin, stirring until dissolved.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon or a similar tool, poke holes evenly across the cooled cake.

  • Place the cake in the refrigerator and allow it to cool for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the whipped topping evenly over the top. Add Christmas sprinkles, if desired.
  • Return the cake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to set.
  • When ready to serve, cut the cake into slices with a sharp knife and enjoy!
