The Bees Make Jello Cake

I have been trying to use up the food we have in our cupboards instead of buying more.  The less I have to move to our new hive the better!  I seem to have a lot of cake mixes and Jello, so this recipe seemed like a good one!  Here is the recipe for Jello Cake...

 

First start by making a white cake using whatever brand cake mix suits you.  I used Duncan Hines brand.  I probably bought this when I was boycotting Betty Crocker when her coupons didn't print from her website!  Thankfully we worked that out!

 

 

Sorry about the price tag that is stuck to this box.  Bumble is responsible for that as a lot of these were used in her pretend grocery store.  I am not sure if that is a dollar or cent sign!

 

After you have baked the cake and it has cooled, it is time to poke holes in the cake.  You can use a fork or toothpick to do this. 

 

Bumble used a fork and went a little overboard on the poking but she had fun!

 

 

 Next we are going to make the Jello mix that gets poured over the cake.  You will need 1 large box of any flavor Jello you prefer, and 1 cup of water.

 

A box of Jello costs $5.00 at Bumble's store!  I will have to inform her that her prices are a little inflated! 

 

 

First bring 1 cup of water to a boil and then stir in the Jello.  Pour this over the cake while the jello mix is still hot.

 

 

It will look like this when drenched in the jello.

 

 

Then refrigerate the cake to get it nice and cold again.

While that is in the refrigerator begin making the icing.  Here are the ingredients...

 

1 small box of vanilla instant pudding

1 cup cold milk

8 oz container of cool whip

 

Mix the pudding and milk together first...

 

Then add the whip cream...

 

Then when the cake is cold again take it out of the refrigerator and spread the icing on top.  Next take a bite of the Jello cake.  Here is what my piece looked like... 

 

 

This cake is very refreshing and delicious.   Make sure to store this in the refrigerator to keep it cold.   Maybe this will last a little longer than normal in our house since it is in the refrigerator and not on the counter!
