Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
Pour dry cake mix into mixer bowl with dry Jell-O mix. Add water,oil and eggs. Blend on low speed until moistened then turn mixer to high speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 30-45 minutes.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely before frosting cake. While cakes are cooling, prepare the frosing colors. It is a good idea to have more frosting than not enough. Usually about a half tub of store bought cream cheese frosting will be enough for the red color on the cake. Once cooled, place the first layer on serving plate and frost top only with red frosting. You can also place chocolate chips on the first layer to add the "watermelon seed" effect.
Place the other cake on top. The inner part of the cake will be decorated with the red frosting. Leave about an inch or two inch border for the green frosting so as to appear like the watermelon rind. One store bought container of frosting should be enough for the green "rind" of the cake. Frost the sides and the top border with green. Reserve enough of the original frosting to have a white line between the green rind and the red center of the cake. The presentation appears to look like a whole slice of watermelon once chocolate chips are placed upside down to look like the seeds. When slicing, use a serrated edge knife and use a sawing motion. On a clear plate so as not to take away from the appearance of the cake!
