Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small box cherry jello(any flavor will work)
1 box(es) white or yellow cake mix
1 large can crushed pineaplle (drained)
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 small tub cool whip topping

Steps:

MAKE AND BAKE CAKE, ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS ON BOX,
WHILE IT IS BAKING, TAKE A GLASS MEASURING CUP, OR MICROWAVE SAFE BOWL, ADD ONE CUP WATER TO IT, AND MICROWAVE TILL BOILING, TAKE OUT AND STIR IN DRY PACKAGE OF JELLO, LET SIT WHILE CAKE IS COOKING,
DRAIN CAN PINEAPPLE AND LET SIT. WHEN CAKE IS DONE, REMOVE FROM OVEN, AND IMMEDIATELY POKE HOLES ALL OVER IT, WITH A HANDLE OF A WOOD SPOON, OR ANY HANDLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF YOUR PINKIE FINGER.. ONCE THE HOLES ARE POKED,
SLOWLY, POUR JELLO MIXTURE, OVER THE CAKE, BE SURE TO GET SOME IN ALL THE HOLES! NEXT, TAKE A SPOON, AND SPREAD THE CRUSHED PINEAPPLE ON TOP OF CAKE, IN A THIN LAYER.
TAKE A GLASS BOWL ADD MILK AND DRYING PUDDING AND MIX ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS ON BOX.. WHEN MIXED, IMMEDIATELY POUR SLOWLY, AND EVENLY, ON TOP OF THE CRUSHED PINEAPPLE.
NOW.. YOU CAN EITHER REFRIG, THE CAKE AT THIS POINT, WITHOUT THE COOL WHIP AND ADD IT LATER..WHEN READY TO SERVE, BY SPREADING OVER ENTIRE CAKE.. OR I LIKE TO PUT THE COOL WHIP ON IT RIGHT AWAY, AND COVER MY CAKE WITH IT'S PLASTIIC PAN COVER.. ANYWAY..THE CHOICE IS YOURS... REFRIGERATE CAKE TILL COLD, AND JELLO HAS A CHANCE TO FIRM UP IN CAKE... HAPPY EATING...
