white cake mix
1 (18 1/2 ounce) package (dry mix)
seedless watermelon
1 1/3 cups (cubed)
strawberry kiwi gelatin powder
1 (4 ounce) package (dry mix)
egg whites

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry white cake mix, cubed watermelon, strawberry kiwi gelatin powder, whipped egg whites, and oil. Mix on high speed for about 3 minutes until the batter is smooth. It's okay if some small chunks of watermelon remain for added texture.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5
While the cake cools, prepare the watermelon icing: Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
6
Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and watermelon juice. Fold in with a spatula until the frosting is completely blended and smooth.
7
Spread the watermelon icing generously over the cooled cake, allowing some to drip down the sides for a delightful presentation.
8
For an extra touch, garnish the top with fresh strawberries and any other preferred fruits. Serve and enjoy!
