How to Make Mom's Jello Angel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully slice the angel food cake, making several vertical slits about 1 inch deep, being cautious not to cut all the way through the cake. This creates channels for the jello.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine two (3 oz) packages of jello with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved.
  4. Gently pour the dissolved jello into the slits of the angel food cake, allowing it to seep into the cake.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the jello is fully set.
  6. Once set, serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream or a scoop of light ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
