Ingredients

Scale
  • 15 oz boxed white cake mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 oz box vegan strawberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 8 oz tub non-dairy whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries (sliced thin)
  • 1 to 2 cups blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix package instructions. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with boiling water and mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake according to package instructions until golden brown.
  3. Allow the cake to cool slightly for about 20 minutes, then use a fork to poke holes evenly across the surface.
  4. Dissolve the vegan strawberry gelatin in boiling water, then add cold water. Pour the mixture over the poked cake, ensuring even distribution. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least three hours.
  5. To make the frosting, beat together softened cream cheese and Cool Whip until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cake. Decorate with sliced strawberries in rows for stripes and blueberries for stars in the top left corner.
  7. Refrigerate again briefly before serving to allow flavors to meld.
