16+ 4th Of July Sheet Cake Recipe Get Ready To Indulge!

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Red and blue food coloring

For the frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
• Red and blue food coloring

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. Use the red and blue food coloring to dye two of the bowls of batter. Pour the colored batter into the prepared pan, making sure to evenly spread each layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, adding more cream if needed for desired consistency. Divide the frosting into three bowls and use the red and blue food coloring to dye two of the bowls. Frost the cooled cake, alternating between red, white, and blue layers. Serve and enjoy!
