Ingredients
- 1 box of white cake mix, baked and cooled
- 1 3.4 oz. box of lime gelatin
- 1 cup of boiling water
- Candy sprinkles to decorate the cake
Lime Frosting
- 1 container of Vanilla frosting
- 1 or 2 drops of fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Bake the cake according to package directions with water, eggs, and oil in a 13 x 9 baking dish. Allow the cake to completely cool on a cooling rack.
- Using a wooden spoon handle, poke holes over the entire surface of the cake, fairly close together. You don’t want any slices of cake without that sweet and tangy lime flavor. Poke the holes almost completely through to the bottom but not quite.
- Now whisk the Lime jello with the boiling water in a measuring cup with a pouring spout. Pour the jello over the entire surface of the cake being sure to get it into every hole.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour before frosting.
Frosting Directions
- Scoop the canned vanilla frosting into a large bowl. Squeeze one or two drops of lime juice into the frosting and stir with a spatula until well blended.
- Frost and decorate your cake. Your delicious cake just got even better with lime frosting.
