Mixed Fruit Jello Cake

Every year my big, extended family tries to go on a vacation together.  Usually it involves a combination of sun, a beach, hotels, a condo, hiking and always, always lots of good food.  We have a lot of summer b-days so we always need a cake.  We love to have Jello cake when it’s hot out.  It’s Refreshing! and chilly. It can usually be made with any combination of cake and jello but I prefer the following.

Mixed Fruit Jello Cake: 1 box of Cherry Chip cake mix 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 large box Berry Blue Jello 1 tub of whipped cream Fresh berries

For this particular cake I bake the cherry chip cake into two 13″ round pans by following the directions on the box. When the cakes are done, set them aside still in their pans and prepare the jello following the normal directions on the box.  When the Jello is ready and the cakes have cooled a bit take a dinner fork and poke holes all over the two cakes.  Then, pour the jello over the cakes, making sure you get both cakes thoroughly.  Put the cakes in the refrigerator over night.

The next day use whipped cream between the two cakes and stack them.  Coat the whole cake with whipped cream and sprinkle some fresh berries on top.  Serve.

This is a really simple recipe so the extras are in short supply.  The best I can do is give you another of my favorite combinations.  Vanilla cake, pineapple and cherry jello.  It’s an easier pineapple upside-down cake.
