3
Bake 28 to 30 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 15 min. Remove from pans to wire racks; cool completely.
4
Repeat with remaining cake mix and dry gelatin mixes, washing cake pans between uses.
5

Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Shortcut
If you have 4 (9-inch) round pans, you can prepare and bake all the cakes at the same time.
Tip 2
How to Neatly Cut the Cake
Make sure cake is chilled before serving. Then, use a serrated knife dipped in hot water to cut the cake, carefully wiping blade with clean damp towel between cuts to prevent the filling from building up on the blade.
Tip 3
Make Ahead
Bake cakes as directed; cool completely. Tightly wrap each layer in plastic wrap and freeze up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, thaw cakes at room temperature before preparing COOL WHIP mixture and using to frost the cakes.
Tip 4
How to Use Leftover the Gelatin Mixes
Dissolve each of the 4 remaining gelatin mix flavors in 1 cup boiling water, using separate bowl for each flavor. Pour half of each flavor gelatin into one of 8 small dessert dishes. Refrigerate until firm. Top with additional thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping just before serving. Makes 8 servings.
