Ingredients
  

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • Eggs, oil, and water
  • 1 box Jell-O
  • 1 boiling water
  • ½ cold water
  • 1 container whipped topping
  • Marshmallows
  • Pastel sprinkles or edible glitter
  • Candy eggs or other Easter-themed decorations

Instructions
 

  • Bake the Cake: Prepare the batter as directed on the box. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool Completely: Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before adding the filling.
  • Make the Jell-O: Dissolve the Jell-O powder in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in ½ cup of cold water.
  • Poke Holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes evenly across the cake.
  • Add the Jell-O: Slowly pour the Jell-O mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Frost the Cake: Spread whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
  • Decorate: Sprinkle pastel decorations on top. For bunny ears, cut marshmallows diagonally, dip in colored sugar, and place them on the cake.
