      Layered Rainbow Jell-O Dessert A Classic Holiday Gelatin Dish

      Growing up in the Midwest Jell-O dishes are always included in big family gatherings. This Layered Rainbow Jell-O was always a favorite at all of our family gatherings. All of my cousins were always were excited to see my Grandmother had made it for our Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations! Now I am planning on passing on the recipe to my little one who helped me make it last night for the first time! I will warn you though, this recipe takes a good 7 hours to make, but there is a good amount of time in between layers you can use to make other dishes or complete other tasks like cleaning!

      Preparing To Make Your Layered Rainbow Jell-O

      To start the preparation process for your Layered Rainbow Jell-O gather all of your ingredients and supplies. I would suggest lining up your Jello-O boxes in the order you will use them in to prevent errors. They should be layered starting with the Raspberry then progressed to Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Orange and finally Strawberry.

      You will also need 2 measuring cups that measure at least 1 cup, a whisk, spatula, and a spoon.

      Layering Your Jell-O

      Continue with boiling 1 cup of water and mixing in the first box of Jell-O (the raspberry). Mix the Jell-O powder well with the water using a whisk, for at least 1-2 minutes or until all of the powder is dissolved. Then split your Jell-O mixture in half (If you are using traditional, not sugar free Jell-O this will put 3/4 Cup in each measuring cup). Use a spoon to remove as many of the air bubbles from the top of the Jell-O mixture as you can.

      Then mix in 1/3 Cup of sour cream to one half of the Jell-O Mixture. Use the whisk to mix the Jell-O and sour cream well. Continue with removing as many air bubbles from the top of the Jell-O mixture as you can with a spoon again, this will prevent you from having to do it later.

      After you have removed the air bubbles, pour your creamy Jell-O mixture into a 9×13 dish. I like to use a glass dish. This will allow you to see the beautiful layers! Then remove any bubbles that were created with a spoon.

      Chilling Your Layered Rainbow Jell-O

      Then chill your first layer in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. (Trust me on this no less time will be enough — I trialed it all for you)!

      While your first layer is chilling, add in 1 Tablespoon of cold water to your clear Jell-O mixture this will help your Jell-O to set in the right consistency and for your layers to appear more even.

      After your first layer has chilled for 30 minutes, pour your clear Raspberry Jell-O over your creamy Raspberry Jell-O. Remove any bubbles that occur with the pouring process with a spoon.

      Chill your second layer in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then repeat the process with the remaining flavors of Jell-O Cherry, Lime, Lemon, Orange, and Strawberry.

      Once you have all layers complete — approximately 6 hours into making your Layered Rainbow Jell-O place your Rainbow Jell-O into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour prior to serving.

      Easy Cream Cheese Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cake

      Every September I get the itch to start making lots of fall recipes! It is my favorite season to bake and cook lots of different fall themed things. Several years ago I created this Easy Cream Cheese Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe and I have been fine tuning it ever since! No matter how I make it , it always disappears when I take it in to work for them to taste test! This recipe is by far my favorite variation!

      Preparation Of Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cake

      Begin with preheating your oven to 350°.

      Then start with making your cake batter by combining the spice cake mix, can of 100% pumpkin, eggs and water. Mix well, there will be some small lumps.

      Continue with spreading your cake batter in a greased medium sized sheet pan or jelly roll pan.

      Baking

      Then place your cake pan in the oven and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. You will be able to tell your cake has completed baking when you can remove a knife or tooth pick from the center of the cake cleanly.

      Creating Your Cream Cheese Frosting

      Let your cake cool for approximately 1-2 hours before creating your frosting.

      Once your cake is cooled, begin with softening your cream cheese in the microwave (use the soften setting) you can also leave your cream cheese out for 20-30 minutes instead of using the microwave.

      Then use a stand or hand mixer to mix your softened cream cheese, cinnamon and vanilla together. Continue with adding in 1 cup at a time of your powdered sugar until all 3 cups are added. Mix well, there should be no lumps from the powdered sugar remaining.

      Cream Cheese Frosting

      Once your frosting is well mixed, spread the frosting evenly over your pumpkin spice cake.

      After your cake is frosted keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat! This will prevent your frosting from spoiling and getting melty.
