How to Make Lemon Lime Refrigerator Sheet Cake 1960

  1. Prepare a boxed 9x13 inch cake mix according to package directions.
  2. Once the cake is baked and cooled, gently poke holes all over the top using a wooden spoon or fork.
  3. In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 (3 oz) package lime-flavored gelatin with ¾ cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  4. Add ½ cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Refrigerate the gelatin mixture until it reaches a slightly syrupy consistency (about 30-45 minutes).
  6. Slowly drizzle the syrupy gelatin over the poked holes in the cake, ensuring the holes are well-saturated. Then, drizzle the remaining gelatin evenly over the top of the cake.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat together 1 (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), and 1 cup of milk until smooth and fluffy.
  8. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top of the gelatin-coated cake.
  9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to chill completely.
  10. Remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to come to a slightly cooler temperature. Serve and enjoy!
