Step 1: Prepare a white or yellow cake mix.
Follow the box's directions.
Use a sheet cake (9x11) baking pan.
This is an ideal size as it allows the cake to cook evenly.
If you want to get really creative, use different flavors of cake mix too.
Some people prefer the taste of angel food cake.
Experiment with other flavors to find what you like.
Every cake's instructions are different, but most can be made in under 30 minutes.
You can also use a cupcake pan and make individual sized Jello cakes.
These are great for kids' parties.Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes.
To avoid burning yourself and to help the Jello to congeal on your cake, it should be at room temperature. -
Step 2: Poke holes with a fork.
