This easy old school style cake really brings me back to childhood with every bite. The exact kind of dessert that was served at almost any occasion you can think of. The best thing about this recipe is that all you need to do is swap out the JELLO gelatin flavor in order to make it completely different.

This one is classic strawberry, but you can really get creative here! The sky's the limit and they are always coming up with new flavors of gelatin to try. I just spotted Cotton Candy flavored gelatin. How fun would that be to try? I'm going to need to make that happen soon.
