Red, White and Blue Cake
Red, White and Blue Cake
Ingredients
White Cake Mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 - 3 oz package strawberry jello
1 - 16 oz container Cool Whip
1 quart strawberries (sliced)
1 cup blueberries
Directions
Prepare white cake with 3 eggs and 1/3 cup oil and follow cake directions on package. While the cake is still warm poke holes in the cake with the wrong side of a wooden spoon. Prepare the strawberry jello as per package directions, but don’t chill, instead pour over cake. The jello will seep into the holes making a wonderful strawberry flavored cake with a nice coloration. Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Spread the Cool Whip over the top of the cake, like icing. Mix the strawberries and blueberries together, then put them on top of the Cool Whip evenly. Put the cake back in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Variation: Cut strawberries in half (instead of sliced) and decorate the top of the cake like a flag with the blueberries in the top left corner as though they were the stars and the strawberries as the stripes.
