How to Make Watermelon Strawberry Kiwi Cake With Watermelon Icing

  1. **Cake Preparation:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. **Wet Ingredients:** In a blender, combine 1 cup cubed watermelon, 1/4 cup water, and 1 packet (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
  3. **Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (if not included in mix), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. **Combine:** Add 2 large egg whites and 1/2 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Gradually add the blended watermelon mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. **Baking:** Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. **Cooling:** Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. **Frosting Preparation:** In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  8. **Sweetening:** Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup watermelon juice until well combined.
  9. **Frosting Application:** Once the cake is completely cool, frost it generously with the watermelon icing.
  10. **Garnish:** Garnish with sliced strawberries, kiwi, and fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
