Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Once the cake has cooled for about 15 minutes, poke holes in the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon, about 1 inch apart.
  3. Prepare the red and blue jello in two bowls according to package instructions using boiling water. Stir until dissolved and allow to cool slightly. Pour the red jello over half of the poked cake, letting it settle for 10 minutes before pouring the blue jello over the other half.
  4. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  5. Once set, spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the cake. Use an offset spatula for an even spread.
  6. Garnish with fresh berries on top and arrange them in a decorative pattern.
