I kinda made this up when I was younger. You can do this with any flavor almost and add the fruit of your choice. My husband LOVES this cake! I'll make sure to post pictures asap.

Steps

1 hour 20 mins

1

Follow directions on your cake box to bake cake.
2

During last 10 min of your cakes baking time make jello in a container and put it in the fridge
3

Take your cake out of the oven and let cool for about 10 min
4

Take the blunt end of a wooden spoon or anything to poke holes about an 1 1/2" apart through the whole cake
5

Take your jello out and stir it around it should still be runny but a little thicker than it was to begin with and take a spoon and scoop some out into each hole. Don't worry if it spills on the cake.
6

Continue to fill holes until you feel you have added at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the jello. Don't use all of it though unless you want your cake more like jello than cake.
7

Let cake sit in fridge for about 45min to an hour to let the jello thicken up. In this time you can take Cool Whip out to soften up a bit so you can spread it.
8

Remove cake from fridge and spread Cool Whip on cake. Drain Mandarin oranges and spread out over the top of your cake.
