Good cake, just not phenomenal. I think the pudding made the cake too heavy, and if you used all the water in the gelatin it would be too diluted to taste it very well. I just used 1/2 c. boiling water to dissolve the gelatin, then 1/2 c. very cold water. I think the next time I made this type of cake I might try two boxes of gelatin, and just a plain white cake mix, no pudding added. I frosted this with the Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting from this site.

I like this recipe a lot! It's very simple and quick and yummy all at the same time :o) I used the cake mix that comes with the pudding already in it according to the package directions so I made the lemon pudding mix with milk to spread over the cake once I had poked holes in it and covered it with the liquid lemon jello. After this set, I spread on the cool whip and stored in the refrigerator until Easter dinner the next day. Yummy, everyone loved it!

My daughter made this cake, was easy. It was so light and refreshing. We used lemon pudding and lime jello. Very pretty for spring and Easter time. We used to make cake like this when we were kids also. Good cake.

Maybe I should have left it in the fridge longer, but I didn't really think it was anything special.

Made for Father's Day dessert, and used all the tips from previous posters to make the recipe lighter - sugar free, fat free pudding, SF FF Cool Whip, SF jello mix and I also subbed applesauce for the oil. Used strawberry jello mix and topped the "frosted" cake with sliced fresh strawberries. Dad asked for the recipe, so a big hit for Father's day.

very moist and delicious! The only modification I did was use Dream Whip rather than just straight cool whip. So good!

This cake turned out so well. I made it for my boyfriend's birthday. He loved it so much that, I had to make it again within a week! I even handed this recipe out to a co-worker and her family loved it also!

Probably would have been great but I forgot to add the water, don't ask me how I managed that! So it actually turned out more like a sponge cake and everyone still liked it. I will make again and follow the recipe to a T. :)

Don't forget to let the cake cool in the fridge for three hours before topping with the Cool Whip. I didn't the last time I made it and my cake was SO ugly. But it still tasted good... I also put a layer of fresh, sliced strawberries on top of the cake before topping with the Cool Whip. Delicious!

I remembered this type of cake from when I was a lil' girl, and couldn't recall the taste. I used SF Cherry Jello and SF pudding. This just ain't my bag, I guess. It looks very pretty, but the taste? That's the reason I didn't remember. The kids thought it was cool looking, but wound up scraping the Cool Whip off it, and leaving the cake for dead. (Thankfully my Dad is taking it, so it won't go to waste.)

Awesome Cake and so Easy! It was soooo moist. I have made it twice. The first I followed the directions to a "T" and the second time I used sugar free lemon pudding and sugar free lemon jello - yummy! My sister in law is making a key lime one for her daughters b-day this wkend! Thanks for a keeper!

This turned out really well. I poked holes with a wooden spoon instead of the fork tines and so when the cake is cut, there are spots with the jello and some without. I thought it looked better this way. Very good cake.

I flipping love this cake. It is sooo easy to make and sooo delicious. If you want to make it even better you must sugar your greased baking pan, not flour it.

This cake is really moist and delicious! I "frosted" it with Redi-Wip to make the top of the cake pretty. Garnishing the top with slices or pieces of real fruit associated with the Jell-O flavor you're using would look nice, too. The next flavor I'm going to try is lime.

I made this cake using strawberry flavored jello for my son's birthday. The kids loved it, and it was gone in a matter of minutes. It is an extremely moist, delicious cake. I can't wait to experiment with different flavored cake mix, pudding, and jello. I think a chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, and black cherry flavored jello would be fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
