Each month, my 'lunch bunch ladies' group gets together to try new recipes. I hosted a St. Patrick's theme luncheon, and my cake was a hit. The sprinkles on top make it even more festive.—Marge Nicol, Shannon, Illinois

My mother-in-law makes this cake all the time, especially for b-days. She makes it a strawberry-jello cake. Uses strawberry jello instead, and for the topping she uses one 8oz tub of coolwhip and a tub of strawberries in juice mixed together and layered over the top. Great cake, always goes over really well!

Most of my co-workers are of Finnish, not Irish, descent, so perhaps I should have used grape Jello and purple sprinkles in honor of St. Urho, but, whatever. I made this cake last night and took it in to work today (St. Patrick's Day 2008) and it was gone in less than two hours. One co-worker asked for the recipe, saying what a nice light cake this is. Normally I like to make my cakes from scratch, but this is one recipe I will be keeping. Using red Jello and red or pink sprinkles would be excellent for a little girl's birthday cake.
