List of Ingredients
American Flag Cake
Margarine
Flour
1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on
boxed mix)
1 package (4-serving size) JELL-O brand gelatin, any red flavor
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
3 1/2 cups (8-ounce container) Cool Whip brand whipped
topping, thawed
1 pint strawberries, washed and sliced
1 cup blueberries, washed
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Recipe
Grease 13 x 9 pan with margarine and dust lightly with flour.
Prepare, mix and bake cake mix according to package directions.
Cool cake for 15 minutes. With large fork, make holes in cake
about every 1/2 inch. Pour gelatin into mixing bowl. Add cup
of boiling water and use scraper to mix thoroughly until gelatin
is completely dissolved. Use measuring cup to pour gelatin over
cake. (It will run down into holes, making sliced cake have red
stripes.) Chill cake in refrigerator 3 to 4 hours. Cover a large
baking sheet or cutting board (larger than the 9x13 pan) 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 with whipped
topping. Arrange strawberries and marshmallows in alternating
rows for stripes, leaving upper left for field of blueberries.
Chill again until time to serve.
