Author Notes: This One Bowl Watermelon Sheet Cake starts with a cake mix and a box of Jello and comes together in minutes using just one bowl. Honestly, the longest part of it is the baking time! A perfect crowd-pleaser for picnics, or just a fun summer dessert to have around at home. —Carissa Nelson

1
3 oz. package of watermelon Jello
-
2
eggs

1 1/4
cups water
-
1/4
cup vegetable oil

Cans of prepared frosting (to taste)
-
Food coloring (optional)

Directions
- Add the box of cake mix, box of jello, eggs, water and oil into a large bowl. If you’d like to take the cake color up a notch, add a few drops of red food coloring.
- Mix all on high for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into a greased 9×13 pan and pop into a 350° oven for 35-38 minutes.
