Description
A festive and colorful cake perfect for summer celebrations, featuring layers of strawberry and blue raspberry gelatin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry gelatin
- 1 (3 oz) box blue raspberry gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 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 combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water.
- Pour half of the strawberry gelatin mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
- Repeat this process with the blue raspberry gelatin, using the remaining half of the mixture.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set.
- Once chilled, spread the whipped topping over the cake and decorate with sliced strawberries and blueberries.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider drizzling a bit of chocolate sauce over the whipped topping before serving.
- You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Try using different flavored gelatins to match your theme or occasion.
