INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (3 ounce) package fruit flavored gelatin mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes.
