Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake according to the package instructions, usually about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake, about 1 inch apart.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the strawberry Jell-O powder until well combined.
  • Pour the strawberry Jell-O mixture evenly over the holes in the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the blue raspberry Jell-O powder until well combined.
  • Pour the blue raspberry Jell-O mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
  • Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake.
  • Garnish with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and sprinkles for a festive touch.
  • Slice and serve cold for a refreshing dessert!

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
