Watermelon Cake Tips
Can you use other types of gelatin to make watermelon cake?
You can certainly use other flavored gelatins if you wish. Just be aware that whatever flavor you choose will become the main flavor of the cake. Strawberry is a great option that has the most similar flavor profile and color to watermelon.
How can you make watermelon cake your own?
This whimsical watermelon cake provides a great canvas to play around and get creative with decorating. Rather than sprinkle chocolate chips on the top, they can be incorporated into the cake to imitate a real watermelon with seeds inside! You can also decide how vibrant you want your frosting to be with your
food coloring; it can range from a delicate pale pink and green to bright red and emerald green.
How should you store watermelon cake?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly, the cake will last 4 to 5 days. If you liked this watermelon cake recipe, you might like these
