You can make this cake up to two days ahead, and it actually tastes better than when made and eaten on the same day. It tastes very rich but isn't. Nice cake for springtime.

This should be 5 stars, but the website won't let me give it 5 stars!

One of the best desserts on the planet!

We like plenty of topping, so I used about 12 oz of the whipped topping and about 1 1/2 pks of the pudding mix, added a half cup of coconut, spread it over the cake, popped it in the fridge overnight and it was a wonderful, light, cool dessert, perfect for the hot Texas heat! I will definitely make it again!

So good and easy to make. It is delicious and takes the guilt away from eating something sweet.

Fantastic recipe!! I further reduced the sugar by using the new Pillsbury reduced sugar cake mix.

I have made this for guests and they loved it. It is cool and sweet but most of the ingredients are sugar free. My family loves jello cake and thought this was a wonderful addition to our recipe box!! Thank you, Cindy
