Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F Spray an 8x8" square cake pan liberally with non-stick spray.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. For a marbled effect, only add the gelatin to two-thirds of the cake batter. Pour the batter with the gelatin into the pan, then top with the plain batter and swirl together with the blade of a butter knife. Alternately, remove 1/3 of the batter and stir in a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder; proceed as above.
  4. Flavor combinations are endless. Try orange gelatin with a chocolate cake, or orange gelatin/white cake and the cocoa marble above. Try cherry or raspberry gelatin with chocolate cake, lemon gelatin with spice cake, or anything with yellow or white cake.
