Fourth of July Special Cake (always a
hit with the 4th of July mood)
Ingredients: Margarine
Flour
1 pack (2-layer size) white cake mix (plus
ingredients that are listed on pack)
1 pack (4-serving size) gelatin or any red
flavor
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup boiling water
3 1/2 cups (8-ounce container) cold and
thawed whipped topping
1 pint strawberries, cleaned and sliced
1 cup blueberries, cleaned
1 cup marshmallows
Accessories needed:
13 x 9 baking pan
Large fork (two-pronged type)
Medium-size mixing bowls
Mixer
Measuring cup
Rubber scraper or large spoon
Large tray or cutting board
Table knife
Aluminum foil
Directions: Smear the 13 x 9 pan with
margarine and dust lightly with flour. Mix
and bake the cake-mix according to
directions. Cool the baked cake for 15
minutes. With a large fork, make holes in
the cake about every 1/2 inch.
Pour red-colored gelatin into mixing bowl.
Add a cup of boiling water and use scraper
to mix thoroughly until gelatin is
completely dissolved. Use the measuring cup
to pour gelatin over cake, including the
holes. This is done so that when the cake is
cut, it will show red stripes in a white
background (since the cake is white).
Now after this is done, chill cake in the
refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
Cover tray with aluminum foil.
Put about one inch of
warm water in kitchen sink. Take pan out of
refrigerator and dip bottom (don't let water
come up over sides) into water for about 10
seconds. Put large tray on top of cake, and
invert.
Frost sides and top of cake with whipped
cream topping. Arrange strawberries and
marshmallows in alternating rows for
stripes, leaving upper left for field of
blueberries. Chill again until time to
serve. And finally your yummy patriotic red,
white and blue 4th of July special
cake is ready !
