This is the moistest cake you will ever eat. I love it with strawberry jello and garnished with fresh strawberries. The Cool Whip makes such a pretty pure white and creamy frosting. It was my mom's favorite birthday cake.
My mother has been making this cake for well over 20 some years. We adjusted this a little bit when it comes to the Jell-o… we use the larger 6 oz package or two 3 oz packaged boxes (any flavor, we tend to love Raspeberry) and we use one and a half cups water to boil it, then we add in ½ cup very cold water to let the temp go down bit. We also had out cake sit in the fridge for about 40 mins before added the Jell-O.

Anyway, but cutting the water down in half and using more Jell-o mix.. the flavor really shines. And if you make sure your cake is cold and then add the Jell-o and water not as hot… the top of your cake is less likely to bust up and it helps set the cake a bit quicker. NEVER COOL-WHIP it until your close to serving it..
