Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Prepare the white cake mix according to the box instructions and bake in the prepared pan. Let the cake cool completely after baking.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake, ensuring the holes reach deep into the cake.
  • In a medium bowl, dissolve the blue raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly and pour the mixture evenly over half of the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
  • In a separate bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly and pour the mixture evenly over the other half of the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
  • Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the gelatin to set.
  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the chilled cake, creating a smooth layer.
  • Optional: Decorate the cake with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a festive red, white, and blue look.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this patriotic dessert!
