1 box devil's food cake mix
1 1/4 cups water, divided
1 small package cherry flavor gelatin
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tub french vanilla whipped topping, thawed

Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package in 2 9 inch round pans.  Run knife or metal spatula around sides of pans to loosen cake layers.  Cool 15 minutes.

Bring 1 cup of the water to boil; stir into dry gelatin mix until completely dissolved.  Add remaining 1/4 cup water.  Pierce cake layers with large fork at 1/2 inch intervals.  Carefully pour half of the gelatin mixture over each cake layer.  Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
