4th of July Cake


1 white cake mix
1 8 oz. cream cheese, room temp
1 8 oz Cool Whip
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 Strawberry Danish Dessert
(it's near the pudding & Jello)
Strawberries, sliced
Blueberries





-Mix the cake mix as usual. Only use about 3/4ths of the cake mix. (You use less to have enough room in the pan for all the layers. I put the extra in a muffin pan and made about 4 cupcakes.) You'll need to watch the cake so it doesn't burn since you have less mix in the pan.

-Whip the cream cheese and powdered sugar with beaters, then fold in 3/4ths the Cool Whip. Putting the remaining in a sandwich bag for later.

-Cook the Danish Dessert mix following the pudding instructions on the box. Fold in the sliced strawberries.

-Layer the cream cheese mixture then pour on the strawberry layer, spreading it to the sides of the pan.

-Put blueberries in the top  left corner then cut one corner off the sandwich bag and squeeze out the Cool Whip to create lines across the cake. Chill about 3 hours then enjoy!
