Rainbow Cake

1 pk .white cake mix

1 pk. Raspberry Jello (3 oz)

1 pk. Lime Jello (3 oz)

2 c. boiling water

1 container Cool Whip Topping, thawed (9 oz)

Prepare the cake mix as directed on the package. Bake in 2 well greased and floured 9″ layer pans at 350 degrees for 25 or 30 mins. Cool in pans for 15 minutes. Using a fork, poke holes at 1/2″ intervals in top of cake . Do not remove cake from pans. Dissolve Jello separately, each in 1 c. boiling water. Pour raspberry Jello over one layer and the lime over the other. Pour slowly so it has time to soak into the cake. Chill for 4 hours. Unmold one layer onto a serving plate. To make unmolding easier, fill sink with 1/2″ of hot water. Hold the bottom of the cake pan in the water for 1 minute making sure that the cake does not get wet. Top with 1 c. Cool Whip. Unmold the second layer and place on top of the first. Frost top and sides with remaining Cool Whip. Chill. Garnish with flattened gumdrips cut to resemble holly(for Christmas), or any other decoration.

Each slice of cake will have a red layer and a green layer. This is beautiful at Christmas. Try using other color combinations for other holidays and occassions.
