Description

A festive dessert featuring a vibrant display of strawberries and blueberries, perfect for summer celebrations like the Fourth of July.


Ingredients

  • 1 box of cake mix
  • 1 package of strawberry Jello
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Fresh blueberries


Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake batter according to the box instructions. Pour the batter into a rectangular pan and bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  3. Poke holes all over the top using a fork to allow the Jello to seep in.
  4. Add the strawberry Jello prepared according to package directions, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  5. Chill the cake in the refrigerator until the Jello sets, about 2-3 hours.
  6. Top with a thick layer of whipped cream.
  7. Create the flag design with fresh strawberries for stripes and blueberries for stars.
  8. Serve sliced and enjoy!

Notes

For a fluffier cake, add an extra egg and replace water with milk. Experiment with different types of fruit for unique designs.
