Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces box of white cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 egg whites, room temperature

Gelatin Layers

  • 3 cups boiling water, divided
  • 3 ounce box of strawberry gelatin mix
  • 3 ounce box of orange gelatin mix
  • 3 ounce box of lemon gelatin mix
  • 3 ounce box of lime gelatin mix
  • 3 ounce box of berry blue gelatin mix
  • Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue food color gel (5-7 drops each)

Topping and Garnish

  • 8 ounce container of whipped topping, thawed
  • Rainbow sprinkles, optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Mix the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites. Bake according to package instructions. Let cool.
  2. Make the Gelatin Layers: Dissolve each gelatin mix separately in 1 cup of boiling water. Add the corresponding food color gel. Let each layer set in the fridge before adding the next.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Cut the cake into layers. Alternate cake and gelatin layers, ending with a gelatin layer on top.
  4. Top and Garnish: Spread whipped topping over the cake and decorate with rainbow sprinkles.

Notes

  • For a quicker version, you can use store-bought pound cake instead of making the white cake from scratch.
  • Experiment with different flavor combinations for the gelatin layers to customize the cake to your liking.
