Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box of Jell-O pudding mix
- 1 box of cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup of whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the box of cake mix and the box of Jell-O pudding mix. Stir them together until they are well blended.
- Add the 4 large eggs, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup of milk to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Use a spatula to smooth the tops if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. You can sweeten it with powdered sugar or vanilla extract to taste, if desired.
- Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top of the first cake layer.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the whipped cream. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream for decoration.
- Slice the cake into 12 servings and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious Jell-O Pudding Stripe It Rich Cake!
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: When combining ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
- Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test to ensure your cake is perfectly baked. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your cake is ready.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool completely before adding whipped cream. This prevents the cream from melting and ensures a beautiful, stable frosting.
- Whipped Cream Tip: For extra stability, you can add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to your whipped cream.
- Make Ahead: This cake can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for party planning.
- Decoration Options: Get creative with toppings! Try chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce to make your cake even more spectacular.
