I use cherry gelatin to give a boxed cake mix an eye-appealing marbled effect. It’s so festive-looking. Top it with whatever fruit you like!

Berry Dream Cake Recipe
Berry Dream Cake
1 package white cake mix (regular size)
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 package (3 oz.) cherry gelatin (any flavor)
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2 cups whipped topping
4 cups fresh strawberries, coarsely chopped (or fruit that matches the gelatin)
Prepare and bake cake batter according to package directions, using a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
In a small bowl, add boiling water to gelatin; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Cool cake on a wire rack 3-5 minutes. Using a wooden skewer, pierce top of cake to within 1 inch of edge; twist skewer gently to make slightly larger holes. Gradually pour gelatin over cake, being careful to fill each hole. Cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread over cake. Top with strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. 15 servings
* You can use any flavor of gelatin, just pick fruit that would go with the color of gelatin you’re using.
