Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Gelatin and Topping

  • 1 cup berry gelatin
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.
  2. Prepare Cake Batter: Mix the vanilla cake mix with 3 large eggs and 1 cup of water following the package instructions until the batter is smooth.
  3. Pour Batter: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the prepared batter evenly into it.
  4. Bake Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool Slightly: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  6. Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly all over the surface of the warm cake to allow the gelatin to seep in.
  7. Prepare Gelatin: Prepare the berry gelatin according to the package instructions, then pour it slowly over the cake, letting it fill the poke holes.
  8. Refrigerate Cake: Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it chill completely for at least 2 hours to set the gelatin and enhance flavors.
  9. Add Toppings: Before serving, spread whipped topping evenly over the cake and garnish with fresh whipped cream and the remaining mixed berries for a fresh, fruity finish.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cake is still warm when poking holes to allow the gelatin to soak through fully.
  • You can substitute the berry gelatin with other flavors to suit your preference.
  • Fresh whipped cream adds a rich, creamy texture, but store-bought whipped topping can be used for convenience.
  • This cake should be stored refrigerated and consumed within 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • Use a sharp toothpick or skewer if you prefer smaller holes for a more delicate texture.
