Every year around my mom's birthday (March 20th) our family makes a fabulous cake that we call "Spring Cake." It is SO good. I made a Spring Cake for some friends on Saturday evening. Yesterday, while he was supposed to be napping, Gavin decided the Spring Cake needed "sprinkles." So while the rest of the family continued their Sunday naps, Gavin dumped all of the red sprinkles and some multi-colored sprinkles on what was left of our spring cake. For any of you who aren't quite sure, spring cake does NOT need sprinkles and the cake was pretty much ruined...This picture is of Gavin doing his "mean" face!
The friends I shared the Spring Cake with on Saturday wanted the recipe. So here it is--
Spring Cake
Prepare and bake 1 lemon cake as directed on the package. Bake in 9 x 13 pan. Cool. With a meat fork, poke cake full of holes, but do not poke clear to the bottom of the cake. Pour jello mixture over top of cake.
Jello mixture: 1 small package lime jello (I use sugar free), dissolve with 3/4 c. hot water, then add 1/2 c. cold water.
Then cover with topping:
1 small package instant lemon pudding (again, sugar-free)
1 small package instant lemon pudding (again, sugar-free)
1 1/2 c. milk
Beat until smooth and blend in a big scoop of Cool Whip. Spread over cake and refrigerate for several hours.

Yummy, we will have to try! I have tried a few sugar free jellos in the past and found they had a seriously different taste. I've never tried lime though.... I do like the white chocolate and cheesecake SF puddings though....
P.S. no luck with AI at our house :(
Natalie, I was honored to get a piece of your spring cake on Saturday night. It was YUMMY! That is a hilarious picture and you are such a great mom for sticking to the, "Don't get mad, take pictures" motto!
As much as Gavin likes to "improve" things...he may just want to cook. I'm sure you already let him help...he and Uncle Tom just seem so much alike! You're recipe sounds yummy and I think I'll take it to our next Ward Party!
Bought a white cake and raspberry jello - gonna try this with fresh raspberries mixed into the vanilla pudding - ??? Could be good! What an amazing mom! Your kids are "Lucky" to a fun mom like you.
See ya Friday!
