Ingredients
- 1 pre-made (store-bought or homemade) Angel food cake
- 6 ounces (2 boxes of 3 oz each) Flavored gelatin mix (Jello, any flavor)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the gelatin by dissolving the flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Step 2
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Allow it to cool to room temperature but do not let it set.
Step 3
Tear the pre-made angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 4
Once the gelatin mixture is cooled (but still liquid), gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined and the mixture is light and airy.
Step 5
In a large serving dish or bundt pan, arrange a layer of angel food cake pieces.
Step 6
Pour a portion of the gelatin and whipped topping mixture over the cake layer, ensuring the cake is fully coated.
Step 7
Repeat layering the angel food cake pieces and the gelatin mixture until all the ingredients are used, finishing with the gelatin mixture on top.
Step 8
Cover the dish or pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or until fully set).
Step 9
Once set, unmold the cake onto a serving plate if using a bundt pan, or serve directly from the dish. Slice and enjoy!
