Wonderful! Now I know how to make a no fat cake! I used white cake mix with black cherry jello. My kids absolutely loved it. I hate to say it, but I ate two pieces! Thanks for this recipe!

Pretty good snack type cake. I used a strawberry cake mix and strawberry jello. I cut it into 28 pieces and we ate little pieces for snack. A light cake.
