Celebrate St. Patty’s Day with this tasty gelatin cake. It’s simple to make and still looks and tastes great. Even though it’s easy to make, be sure to give yourself a little extra time when making it to let the cake cool off before and after putting the gelatin inside. When pouring the gelatin over the cake, be sure to let the cake absorb the liquid completely before pouring more. This helps the gelatin settle throughout the cake and not only on the sides. Adding the gelatin makes the cake super moist. Whipped cream (from the tubs, not the cans) works well for the icing. This recipe works well for all holidays too. Customize your cake with the different colors and flavors of gelatin for any season. Strawberry or cherry work well for Easter.
