How to Make United Cake Of America

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite white cake mix according to package directions, but use only half the amount of water or liquid called for in the package instructions.
  4. Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls.
  5. In one bowl, gently stir in 3 oz (1 package) cherry gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of boiling water until fully dissolved and slightly cooled.
  6. In another bowl, gently stir in 3 oz (1 package) blueberry gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water until fully dissolved and slightly cooled.
  7. Pour the plain batter, cherry batter, and blueberry batter into the prepared pans, dividing them evenly. Gently swirl with a knife or toothpick to create a marble effect.
  8. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, place the blueberry cake layer on a cake plate or serving stand.
  11. Frost the top with your favorite snow peak frosting.
  12. Place the white cake layer on top of the blueberry layer and frost with more frosting.
  13. Place the cherry cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  14. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
