18+ 4th July Flag Cake Recipe You Must Try Them!

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 1 box of white cake mix
• 1 cup of water
• 1/3 cup of oil
• 3 egg whites
• Red and blue food coloring

Frosting:

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Red and blue food coloring

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites. Mix until well combined and then divide the batter into three equal portions.

Add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion of the batter and mix until you achieve a vibrant red color. In another portion, add blue food coloring and mix until you have a rich blue color. Leave the third portion as is, for the white portion of the cake.

Next, pour the red batter into one side of the prepared baking dish and the blue batter into the other side, leaving a space in the middle for the white batter. Gently spread the white batter in the middle to create a separation between the red and blue batters. This will be the base of your flag cake.

Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, let the cake cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Divide the frosting into two portions, and add red food coloring to one and blue to the other, until you achieve the desired colors.

To assemble the cake, spread the white frosting over the top of the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the red and blue frosting in alternating rows on top of the white frosting to create the stripes of the flag. Finally, add a few blueberries and sliced strawberries in the top left corner to complete the flag design.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set. Then, slice and serve to your guests for a dessert that's as delicious as it is patriotic. Enjoy this 4th of July flag cake and have a happy Independence Day!
