This was the second dessert I ever made for Johnny (the first was Chocolate Chip Cookies) before we actually started officially dating again. I haven't made it in forever....but Johnny hasn't been feeling 100% and he requested it...so I made it last night. :) It's really super easy...it just takes awhile before you can actually eat it. :P

Using a fork, poke holes in cake every half inch or so all over the whole cake.
Pour Jell-O packet into a large bowl. Pour in boiling water and stir until all of the powder has dissolved. Stir in cold water.
Pour all of the Jell-O liquid over the entire cake, making sure that it's evenly distributed.
Cover the cake and refrigerate for about 3 hours.
Remove the cake and cover with a layer of Cool Whip as frosting.
Enjoy!

In the photo, you'll see that there is some pink sprinkles on the Cool Whip frosting. I like to save just a little bit (less than a teaspoon) of the powdered Jell-O to sprinkle on top. :)
