Ingredients

• 1 box White cake mix
• 3 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1 3 oz box Strawberry-flavored gelatin
• 1 3 oz box Lime-flavored gelatin
• 1 3 oz box Blue raspberry-flavored gelatin
• 3 cups Boiling water
• 3 cups Cold water
• 8 oz Whipped topping
• 0.25 cup Sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Prepare the white cake mix according to the package directions, combining the mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes. Then, using the handle of a wooden spoon or a straw, poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake (about 1 inch apart).

Step 5

In three separate bowls, dissolve the strawberry, lime, and blue raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water each. Stir each until the gelatin has fully dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water to each bowl.

Step 6

Carefully pour each gelatin flavor into the poked holes of the cake, distributing the colors evenly across the surface for a rainbow effect.

Step 7

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the gelatin to set and soak into the cake.

Step 8

Once the cake is fully chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 9

Decorate with rainbow sprinkles for added flair, then slice and serve!

Step 10

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
