Notes
- You can substitute butter and milk for the oil and water if you like. It will produce a richer flavor!
- It’s best to make the holes in the cake while it is still slightly warm because as it cools, the crust on top of the cake will crumble more easily.
- When you’re pouring the jello into the holes, tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles, and make sure the jello fills the holes completely.
