Patriotic Cake
Ingredients:
- One white cake mix + ingredients to prepare it
- One 3 oz. box of Berry Blue Jell-o
- One 3 oz. box of Berry Blue Jell-o
- One 3 oz. box of Strawberry Jell-o
- One 8 oz. tub of whipped topping thawed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- red and blue fruit for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions and allow cake to cool completely.
- Using a straw or the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
- Prepare each box of Jell-o using 1 cup of boiling water + 1/2 cup of cold water. (This is 1/2 cup less cold water than what is called for on package instructions.)
- Carefully pour or spoon the blue Jell-o over a portion of the cake. Take care to get the liquid into the holes.
- Carefully pour or spoon the red Jell-o over the rest of cake. Take care to get the liquid into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 3-4 hours or overnight – this allows the Jell-o to set up within the cake.
- In a small bowl, combine the whipped topping, powder sugar, and sour cream. Whip until creamy and smooth.
- Top cake with frosting and then decorate with fresh fruit.
- Cut and serve!
- Refrigerate any leftover cake.
