Want a super easy but star studded dessert for Memorial Day? Try this Patriotic Flag cake. There are several variations to please every dessert lover!
You can buy a flag shaped pan like mine, or simply use a rectangular pan. Either way, people will love your patriotic spirit!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray pan with Baker’s Secret or grease and flour.
Ingredients:
1 box vanilla cake mix
4 egg whites
1/3 cup oil
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup water
Mix all ingredients, pour into pan a and bake for 30 – 40 minutes or until golden brown and cake springs back to touch. Cool for 20 minutes then invert on platter.
Icing:
50 fresh blueberries, 2 pints fresh raspberries, 1 can vanilla icing, 1 cup cool whip.
Mix canned icing and cool whip well. Frost cake and put remaining icing in a pastry tube. Place 50 blueberries on left top corner of cake (10 across , 5 down). Place raspberries to represent red stripes. In the “in between” rows, pipe white icing florettes for the white stripes. Pipe a border around the entire base of the cake. Chill before serving.
* My favorite variation: Use devil's food cake mix instead of white and replace fresh raspberries with Cherry Pie Filling!
