Ingredients
15oncebox white cake mix + ingredients to make it(such as eggs, oil, etc - whatever it lists on the box. Or use a from scratch white cake, if preferred.)
3ouncebox Berry Blue Jello
3ouncebox Cherry Jello
8ouncetub Cool Whip, thawed (or use homemade whipped cream, if preferred)

Instructions
Prepare white cake mix according to package directions, baking in a greased 9x13 pan. Allow cake to cool for about 25 minutes.
Using a straw or the handle of a small wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Prepare each box of Jell-o using 1 cup of boiling water + 1/2 cup of cold water. (This is 1/2 cup less cold water than what is called for on package instructions.)
Carefully pour or spoon the blue Jello over a portion of the cake, making sure to get the liquid into the holes.
Carefully pour or spoon the red Jello over the other portion of the cake, making sure to get the liquid into the holes.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight – this allows the Jell-o to set up within the cake.
Spread the top evenly with the Cool Whip.
Add red, white, and blue patriotic sprinkles and/or stars on top.
