# What You'll Need:
→ Cake
01 - 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
02 - 1 cup water
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 3 large eggs
→ Gelatin
05 - 1 (3 oz) package strawberry or cherry-flavored gelatin
06 - 1 (3 oz) package berry blue gelatin
07 - 2 cups boiling water, divided (1 cup per package)
08 - 1 cup cold water, divided (1/2 cup per package)
→ Topping
09 - 1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
10 - 2 tablespoons red, white, and blue sprinkles or nonpareils
11 - Fresh strawberries and blueberries (optional), for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
02 - Combine white cake mix, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 3 large eggs. Beat until smooth according to package guidance. Transfer batter to prepared dish and bake 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
03 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan about 15 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the surface about 1 inch apart.
04 - In separate bowls, dissolve the strawberry or cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water and the blue gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir each until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup cold water to each bowl and mix to combine.
05 - Carefully spoon or pour the red gelatin mixture over half of the holes and the blue gelatin mixture over the remaining holes so the colors distribute across the surface.
06 - Refrigerate the pan until the gelatin is fully set, at least 2 hours.
07 - Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Evenly scatter sprinkles over the surface and arrange fresh strawberries and blueberries if using.
08 - Slice into 12 portions and serve cold.
