Story:

When my children were younger, they enjoyed "helping" to make this cake.  Their job was to poke the holes in the cake.  I gave them both a straw to do so.  While I would be pouring the jello on the cake they would be trying to suck the cake out of the straws.

This is still my eldest's favorite cake because it is so moist and she really likes the cool whip as frosting because it's not too sweet.
