All American Flag Cake

Ingredients

• yellow cake mix (1 package)
• water (1 cup)
• eggs (3 large)
• vegetable oil (0.33 cup)
• strawberry-flavored gelatin mix (1 package)
• boiling water (0.5 cup)
• instant vanilla pudding mix (1 package)
• milk (1.5 cups)
• fresh blueberries (1 cup)
• frozen whipped topping (2 cups)
• sliced fresh strawberries (1.5 cups)
• miniature marshmallows (0.5 cup)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, eggs, and vegetable oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Poke holes about 1 inch apart all over cake with a fork.
4. Dissolve strawberry gelatin in 1/2 cup boiling water in a bowl; slowly pour over cake, letting gelatin seep into holes. Refrigerate cake until gelatin sets, about 1 hour. Transfer cake to a serving platter; cut in half horizontally.
5. Whisk instant pudding mix with milk in a bowl until thickened, about 2 minutes; stir in 1/2 cup blueberries. Spread blueberry-pudding filling onto bottom cake layer; place top cake layer over filling. Spread whipped topping over top and sides of cake; arrange remaining 1/2 cup blueberries in a square in the upper left corner of cake for stars. Arrange alternating layers of strawberries and miniature marshmallows into horizontal red and white stripes.
