Red, White & Blueberry Poke Cake

• 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
• 1-1/4 cups water
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2-1/4 teaspoons strawberry gelatin
• 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup water
• 4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 4-1/2 teaspoons berry blue gelatin
• 2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Line bottoms of two 9-in. round baking pans with parchment or waxed paper; coat paper with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, eggs and oil; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 2 minutes.
2. Transfer to prepared pans. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pans on wire racks.
3. For strawberry gelatin, in a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 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 steps to make blueberry gelatin.
4. Using a wooden skewer, pierce tops of cakes to within 1 inch of edge; twist skewer gently to make slightly larger holes. Gradually pour cooled strawberry mixture over 1 cake, being careful to fill each hole. Repeat with blueberry mixture and remaining cake. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
5. In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form.
6. Run a knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes. Remove strawberry cake from pan; remove paper. Place cake on a serving plate. Spread with 1 cup whipped cream.
7. Remove blueberry cake from pan; remove paper. Place cake over whipped cream layer. Frost top and sides with remaining cream. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
