Lime Ribbon Delight

1 package Betty Crocker white cake mix

1 cup boiling water

1 package (3 oz.) lime flavored gelatin

½ cup fruit juice or water

½ cup drained crushed pineapple

¼ cup chopped nuts

Few drops lemon juice

1 cup chilled whipping cream

¼ cup confectioners’ sugar

Bake cake mix in a 9-inch layer pan as directed on the package.  Cool.  Pour boiling water over gelatin in a bowl, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.  Stir in fruit juice or water; chill until slightly thickened but not set.  Stir in pineapple, nuts and lemon juice.  Place 2 strips of aluminum foil, 2-3 inches wide, in each of the layer pans, extending foil over edges of pans.  Place a cooled cake layer in each pan, one layer right side up and one layer upside down.  Spoon gelatin mixture evenly on the layers; chill until gelatin is firm.   In a chilled bowl, beat cream and sugar until stiff.  With extending foil strips, lift cake out of pans; stack layers gelatin side up.  Frost side of cake with whipped cream.  Because of the gelatin and whipped cream, refrigerate any leftover cake.
