July 4th Flag Cake
Main Ingredients: Boiling Water, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Coffee
Last but certainly not least, we have the classic July 4th flag cake. Made with layers of white cake, fresh berries, and whipped cream, it's a timeless and delicious dessert that is perfect for any Independence Day celebration.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and lining them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 tsp vanilla extract.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk, until everything is well combined.
Distribute the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Place one of the cooled cakes on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Add a layer of mixed berries on top of the whipped cream, then place the second cake on top.
Cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream and decorate with more fresh berries.
Refrigerate the cake for 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
This July 4th cake is the perfect combination of light and fluffy cake, creamy whipped cream, and fresh berries. The addition of mixed berries not only adds a pop of patriotic colors but also a burst of freshness to each bite. You can also get creative with the decoration by adding some red, white, and blue sprinkles or using different types of berries for a unique twist. So go ahead and impress your guests with this delicious and festive dessert. Happy Fourth of July!
