Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 18.25 ounce package white cake mix, prepared to package instructions
- 1 package (3oz) package strawberry gelatin
- 1 package (3oz) package berry blue gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water for gelatin
- 2 8oz packages cream cheese
- 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 1 quart strawberries, chopped
- 2 cups blueberries
Instructions
- Start by baking the cake in 13x9 pan according to package instructions. Allow to fully cool.
- Using a fork or a straw, poke holes over the top of the cake.
- Next, in 2 separate bowls, mix the blue and red gelatin each with 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved.
- Spoon each color of gelatin over the cake, making sure to pour over the holes. TIP: The best way to do this is a row of blue, then a row of red and alternate so you get a colorful mix of red and blue in the cake. It's good to spoon over each row 2-3 times to make sure the color shows up well.
- Next, mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Hand stir in the whipped topping. Spread out cream cheese mixture over the cake. Top with rows of strawberries and blueberries.
- Chill for 4 hours before serving.
