Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 white cake mix (and ingredients called for on box (oil, egg whites and water))
  • 3 oz box blue raspberry jello (powder only)
  • 1 1/2 cups water (divided)
  • 8 oz cool whip
  • 1-2 cups strawberries (sliced)
  • 1-2 cup blueberries
  • 1-2 cups raspberries

Instructions

  • Prepare your cake mix in a large mixing bowl according to package directions. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake in oven according to package directions. (Mine was 350 degrees for 29 minutes)
  • Allow your cake to cool for about 30 minutes when done baking.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a small pot over medium heat. Dump in your jello mix and stir till dissolved. Add in your remaining 1/2 cup of water (it should be cold!) and stir.
  • Poke holes into your cake using a fork, and space them about an inch apart. Pour jello evenly over the top of your cake. Cover the cake and place it in your fridge for 3 hours.
  • Spread cool whip over the top of your cake evenly. Arrange strawberry slices over the top of your cool whip as desired (Or arrange blueberries in one corner in a square, and strawberries in striped to make a flag)
  • Store in fridge for 1 hour before serving.
