This is also an old family tradition, we call it Jello cake. My personal favorite combo is lemon cake, lime jello, and some lemon pudding mixed in with the whipped cream to top it off. Yum yum, I make it all the time. It has a surprisingly refreshing taste.

We always called this "Jello Cake." And we used different colors for different holidays. Fourth of July, we'd use red and blue jello, and then on top of the whip cream we'd put fresh cut strawberries. I was a picky kid growing up, and this was the only cake that I liked!

This is a blast from my past... My Mom used to make this Jello cake for each of us on our birthday. My brother and I were just talking about this a couple of weeks ago. It was something we always looked forward to.
