A fun and colorful dessert perfect for celebrations, featuring layers of gelatin and topped with fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 box (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
- 1 box (3 oz) blue raspberry gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- Repeat the process with the blue raspberry gelatin, using a separate bowl.
- Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the gelatin is set.
- After the gelatin has set, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
- Decorate the top with sliced strawberries and blueberries to create a patriotic design.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try using different flavored gelatins to match your favorite team colors or seasonal themes.
- You can also substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
