How to Make Green Angel Cake With Fluffy Fruit Flavor Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare one 15.25 ounce box of angel food cake mix according to package directions, setting aside 1/3 of the batter.
  2. In a medium bowl, dissolve 3 ounces of lime-flavored Jell-O in 1/4 cup of boiling water. Let cool slightly until the Jell-O is slightly thickened, then gently fold into the reserved 1/3 of the cake batter until evenly combined.
  3. Carefully spoon half of the plain batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Top with the lime Jell-O batter. Then spoon the remaining plain batter on top.
  4. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should spring back when lightly pressed.
  6. Invert the pan immediately onto a funnel or a bottle neck and let cool completely. This prevents the cake from collapsing.
  7. Once completely cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: Dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of lime Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  9. Let the Jell-O mixture cool and thicken slightly in the refrigerator (approximately 30 minutes).
  10. In a separate bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) container of thawed whipped topping until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the chilled Jell-O mixture until just combined.
  11. Frost the cooled cake and garnish with lime slices, if desired. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
