4TH OF JULY CAKE
This is a wonderful tasting cake and I absolutely love the icing. It is so light, not too sweet and just perfect for this cake. I also love the blueberry and strawberry flavors that are in almost every bite. I made this cake for Memorial day upon the request of my mother, Jeanie. As soon as it was served up it quickly...

Steps:
- 1. Line bottoms of 2 9-inch round baking pans with parchment paper. Spray it with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients for cake in a large bowl and mix on low speed for a minute and then beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes till toothpick comes out clean. Cool cakes completely in pans on wire racks.
- 2. For strawberry gelatin, combine strawberries, water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 2-3 minutes or until berries are soft. Strain into a small bowl, pressing berries lightly; discard pulp. Add gelatin to syrup, stirring to dissolve completely. Cool to room temperature. Repeat these steps for blueberry gelatin.
- 3. Using a chopstick or wooden skewer, pierce the tops of cakes to within 1 inch of edge; twist the skewer gently to make slightly large holes.
