A cake that requires no baking! A fun summer activity for children. You can chill this for a couple hours before serving, but for best results, consume cake the same day you make it.

Ingredient List

  • 1 small, red, seedless watermelon (about 10 pounds)
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 cups Mountain High® original or lowfat vanilla yoghurt
  • 1 pint strawberries
  • 1/2 pint blueberries
  • 1/2 pint raspberries

Preparation

  1. Wash and dry the uncut watermelon. Cut the narrow ends off the watermelon and slice off the rind and discard. Slice watermelon into two-inch rounds. Select three rounds from the middle which are closest to the same diameter. Set aside the remaining watermelon.
  2. Place one watermelon round flat on cutting board and place a small plate about 7 inches in diameter over the melon. Use the plate as a template to trim the melon into a perfect circle. Repeat with the remaining two rounds. Gently pat the rounds dry with paper towels.
  3. In a medium bowl, fold whipped topping into yoghurt until blended. Place one watermelon round on a cake serving platter and top it with about 1 cup of the yoghurt mixture. Spread evenly over the top of the melon. Top with another layer of watermelon and spread with about 1 cup of the yoghurt mixture. Top with third layer of watermelon; spread remaining yoghurt over top and sides of “cake”.
  4. Slice strawberries and place along the base of the cake. Decorate the top with the raspberries and blueberries. Serve immediately or chill for a couple hours before slicing and serving. Store in refrigerator.
