July 4th 2016: Yummy and Festive July 4th Cake!
I've been making this fun cake for several years now and I'll be heading to the store for the ingredients to make it again this year!
I posted these pictures and recipe a few years ago just before the 4th of July so I thought I would share it again in case anyone is looking for a festive and delicious patriotic dessert for this year's July 4th celebrations. I think I will be making this dessert again this year as we have plans to spend time with family and friends for a cookout.
My mom passed on the recipe to me and it's as delicious as it is festive for any 4th of July gathering!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of white cake mix (I used a box of Duncan Hines white cake mix in these pictures, but I've been baking cakes from scratch for awhile now so I think I'll use this homemade white cake recipe HERE.
- 3 oz. package of Raspberry Jello
- 3 oz. package of Berry Blue Jello
- 8 oz. thawed Cool-Whip
Directions:
- Prepare cake mix as directed. Pour batter into two 8 or 9 in. round cake pans.
- Bake as directed on box. Cool 10 minutes while still in pans. Remove cakes from pans and cool completely.
- Place 2 cakes back in their pans, with their tops up
- Prick each cake with utility fork at about 1/2 in. intervals
- Mix 1 cup boiling water with Raspberry Jello package; stir to dissolve
- Spoon Raspberry Jello over 1 cake layer making sure to spoon watery mixture over the pricked holes.
- Repeat with the Berry Blue Jello and spoon Jello over other cake layer. I used almost all of the Jello mixtures when I spooned/poured it over each layer.
- Refrigerate cakes for about 3 hours.
- Dip each cake pan into warm water to loosen the cakes, then remove each cake from their pan.
- Spread the red layer with Cool Whip topping
- Put the blue layer on top of red layer and frost cakes with remaining Cool Whip
- Refrigerate until ready to serve
And the inside looks like this:
So if you need a great festive cake for this 4th of July, give this one a try! It's always a hit with family and friends!
