Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1 (16-ounce) box angel food cake mix, plus the ingredients called for on the package
  • 1 (3-ounce) box lime gelatin dessert mix
  • For the frosting:
  • 1 (3-ounce) box lime gelatin dessert mix
  • 1 cup water, boiling
  • 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • lime, optional, to taste, sliced, for garnish

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.

Step 3 -Reserve 1/3 of the batter.

Step 4 -Fold 1 box of the gelatin mix into the reserved 1/3 of the batter.

Step 5 -Alternately spoon the two batters into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.

Step 6 -Zigzag a knife through the batters to create a marbled effect.

Step 7 -Bake on the lowest rack until the cake springs back when lightly pressed, about 40-50 minutes. Follow the package directions for the best estimate on time.

Step 8 -Let the cake cool for a few minutes, then invert it onto a plate and remove the pan to allow it to cool completely.

Step 9 -Dissolve the remaining box of lime gelatin in the boiling water.

Step 10 -Let the gelatin mixture chill until just slightly thickened.

Step 11 -Blend the gelatin mixture with the whipped topping, taking care not to knock the air out.

Step 13 -Top with the sliced lime and serve.
