Description

A vibrant dessert that captures the spirit of celebration with its fluffy white cake infused with strawberry and blue raspberry Jell-O.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry Jell-O
  • 1 package (3 ounces) blue raspberry Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cool whip or whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries and blueberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, prepare the white cake mix per the package instructions, incorporating the eggs and water until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake according to package instructions, typically around 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool for about 15 minutes.
  5. With a fork, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.
  6. In separate mixing bowls, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water, whisking until completely dissolved. Repeat with the blue raspberry Jell-O.
  7. Carefully pour the strawberry Jell-O over one half of the cake, gently spreading it to fill the holes. Then, follow with the blue raspberry Jell-O over the other side.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
  9. Just before serving, spread the cool whip or whipped cream evenly on top. Decorate with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Notes

You can prepare this cake a day in advance. To make it gluten-free, substitute white cake mix with a gluten-free version.
