Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 package white cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- blue gel food coloring
- red gel food coloring
Filling:
- 2 cups condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 3.4 oz vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
Topping:
- 16 ounces whipped topping or homemade whipped cream
- 1 pound strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
- Whisk cake mix with eggs, water, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Stir blue food coloring into one bowl, red food coloring into the second, and leave another one without color.
- Alternating colors, drop heaping spoonfuls of batter randomly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Next, using the end of a wooden spoon, poke large holes all over the cake.
Filling:
- Add condensed milk and white chocolate to a medium bowl, microwave for 1 minute, and stir until melted. If needed, microwave for 30 more seconds.
- After holes are made, pour the mixture on top of the cake evenly and distribute the chocolate mixture all over the cake.
- Prepare the pudding mixture per the package directions by mixing it with the milk until it begins to thicken. Then, immediately pour the pudding over the cake, filling the holes.
- Let the cake COOL completely.
Topping:
- Frost cake with whipped topping, leaving about 2 cups for later. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
- Garnish with blueberries and strawberries to resemble the American flag. Add the remaining whipped topping to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe cream stars between the strawberry rows.
- Keep refrigerated.
