Instructions
For the lime poke cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 13×9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  • In a large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pan.

  • Bake for 23-28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack 20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, pour boiling water on gelatin; whisk briskly until gelatin is dissolved.

  • Poke the cake every inch with the handle of a wooden spoon or the tines of a fork halfway into the cake. Carefully and slowly pour the lime gelatin over the cake. Cool completely in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.

  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Decorate with green sanding sugar, if desired.

  • Cut the cake into 12 generous pieces and enjoy chilled.
