During the summer time, many desserts seem to be too heavy and rich to enjoy – but this cake is so light and refreshing with the perfect balance of sweetness, it’ll put a smile on anyone’s face! I believe this also goes by the names punch cake or refrigerator cake…
Prepare and bake the white cake mix, according to package instructions, in a 9 x 13 pan. Please follow the package instructions and include the specified amounts of water, eggs and oil, and bake according to package instructions. Allow to cool.
Next, mix Jello according to package directions, but DO NOT FOLLOW THE COLD WATER STEP. This will dilute the flavor and make it way too Jello-ey. In other words, just use half of the water it calls for – only the hot water step. Let this mix set for a couple of minutes to dissolve the crystals.
Meanwhile, take the end of a wooden spoon or a straw, and stab holes into the cooled cake, taking care not to tear it up. Slow and easy is best, using your fingers to keep the cake from sticking to your utensil.
Pour the Jello evenly over the cake, especially into the holes. Cover with plastic wrap, and pop it into the fridge until set.
Finally, top with Cool Whip and serve cold! Keep leftovers tightly covered in the fridge.

I love this cake!!! Instead of cool-whip, I make a vanilla pudding/dream whip combination for the frosting. Super yum!!!
