What tastes better on a hot summer day than watermelon. You’ll love to treat your friends to this delicious Watermelon Cake.

Watermelon Cake

1 Watermelon, seedless (about 5 lbs.)

1 8 oz. tub whipped topping, thawed

1/2 cup blueberries, washed and dried

1/2 cup strawberries, washed, dried and sliced

Cut a 2 inch slice of watermelon from each end. While watermelon is on the cutting board, cut rind off the watermelon from top to bottom and discard rind. Pat watermelon dry with paper towels. Place the watermelon, standing up, on a large platter. “Frost” with whipped topping. Place blueberries and strawberries on top. Slice like cutting a cake and serve.

*For added flavor, put coconut flakes around the sides of the watermelon cake.
