"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1/3 c. shortening or margarine
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Hot water
Jell-O

Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour an 8" X 8" baking pan. Mix all ingredients into a large bowl. Blend well. Beat another 3 minutes. Pour into the pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.

While cake is cooling dissolve 1 package of Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water. Poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Pour Jell-O over the cake. Chill at least 4 hours. (Note: Cake doubles well for a 9" X 13" pan. Then it is your choice if you want to double Jell-O as well. One box will still work -- it will just have less red, blue, green (whatever color you picked) streaks running through it. It still tastes great! Or you could use two different kinds of Jell-O for a truly multi-colored effect.)

Personal Notes:
This is a good cake for kids to learn on since there are no special instructions. From "A Little Basic Cookbook" -- for missionaries in Kenya.
