Cake Base

  • 1 box white or yellow cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box (e.g., eggs, oil, water)

Filling

  • 1 package Jell-O (any flavor) e.g., strawberry, raspberry, or lemon
  • 1 cup boiling water to dissolve Jell-O
  • 1 cup cold water to set Jell-O

Topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream or store-bought whipped topping like Cool Whip
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for homemade whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for homemade whipped cream
  • Bunny Peeps for decoration

Instructions
 

Bake the Cake

  • Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9x13-inch pan. Let it cool completely.

Prepare the Filling

  • Dissolve the Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water, then stir in 1 cup cold water. Let it cool slightly.

Poke and Fill

  • Poke holes all over the cooled cake using the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour the Jell-O mixture evenly over the cake. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.

Make the Topping

  • Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (or use store-bought whipped topping). Spread over the chilled cake.

Decorate

  • Decorate the top with Bunny Peeps, colorful sprinkles, and mini chocolate eggs.
