My nephew's birthday happens around the 4th of July so I'm going to alter this recipe to fit the patriotic colors for our double celebration of our country's bday and my NooNoo's bday...

THE FIRST TIME I MAKE THIS CAKE I DIDN'T READ THE RECIPE THE WAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IT,SO I ADD THE WHOLE PACKAGE OF JELLO AND WHEN I TASTE THE CAKE IT WAS LIKE RUBBER. TODAY I'M STILL LAUGHING ABOUT IT, BUT I DID IT 3 TIMES ALREADY AND EVERYTIME I MAKE IT, IT TASTE BETTER THEN THE FIRST ONE. KNOW I'M GOING TO TRY WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS.

This cake was very good. My favorite part is that you can make it any flavor you want! I made strawberry and lime. Then after i coolwhipped i decorated the top with strawberry cake. I didn't read the directions well enough and didn't but a full 12oz. on the cake. I just used 8 oz. and it was still very good. I wish it was healthier though. O well, it was wonderful, THanks Kraft!

My mom and I have been making this recipe for years - we don't divide the batter however. We just add one flavor, usually strawberrry or lime flavor jello. A very pretty cake for a party!

YUMMY CAKE! VERY MOIST AND FLAVORFUL. I MADE IT FOR THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR. MY FLAVORS WERE STRAWBERRY AND PEACH JELLO WITH WHIPPED ICING. TIP: I USUALLY PURCHASE WHIPPED FLUFFY WHITE ICING TO SUBSTITUTE FOR COOL WHIP BECAUSE A FEW OF MY RELATIVES DO NOT LIKE COOL WHIP.

This cake was very moist and flavorful. I don't like whipped topping much but it was still very good. My boyfriend enjoyed it very much also.
