Remember last year’s festive green Jello? Well, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day this year I bring you another easy, quick cake mix creation. In fact, I’ve even created a ‘cake mix inspired’ category, so you can find all of them easily.
This cake is delicious! I loved the lime flavor and color contrasted with the white cake. And, of course, I love how it can be made during a little mister’s naptimes if needed. It’s that quick!
A reminder that if you want to make your cake mix creation extra delicious, replace the water with milk and add at least a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I’m so LUCKY to have great readers. THANK YOU!

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) white cake mix
2 packages (3 ounces each) lime gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
TOPPING:
1 cup cold milk
1 small box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water and set aside.
With a large fork or wooden skewer, poke holes about 2 in. apart into cooled cake. Slowly pour gelatin over cake. Cover and refrigerate.
In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cake. Decorate with sprinkles.
Cover and refrigerate until serving.
used to make this all the time when the kids were young. They loved the “streaks”
