Hidden Treasure Cake Recipe

  • 1 prepared angel food cake (from 10 oz. package)
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Brand Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
  • 1 1/2 cups COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries, divided
  1. Place cake on serving plate. Cut 3/4-inch-thick horizontal slice from top of cake using a serrated knife; set aside. With small knife, cut 1-inch wide and 1-inch deep tunnel inside center of cake; being careful not to cut through. Remove and save cutout for snack.
  2. Stir boiling water into 1 pkg. (4-serving size) dry Jell-O Brand Gelatin in bowl 2 minutes until dissolved. Add enough cold water to 1/2 cup ice to measure 3/4 cup; stir into gelatin until completely melted. Remove 1/2 cup of the gelatin mixture and place in separate medium bowl. Add whipped topping; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes or until thick enough to spread.
  3. Meanwhile, refrigerate remaining plain gelatin 5 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in 3/4 cup of the strawberries; spoon into tunnel of cake. Replace top of cake. Frost cake with reserved thickened whipped topping and gelatin mixture. Garnish top with remaining strawberries.
