This vibrant and delicious American flag cake is soft, moist, and topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit to represent the stars and stripes. It's easy to make, visually stunning, and crowd-pleasing for parties, BBQs, or potlucks.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Vanilla Sheet Cake:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub whipped topping)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bake the Sheet Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely.

2. Prepare Whipped Topping

  • In a cold bowl, whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • (Skip this step if using store-bought whipped topping.)

3. Decorate the Flag

  1. Spread whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake.
  2. Arrange blueberries in the top left corner to create the “stars.”
  3. Use strawberry slices to form red “stripes” across the rest of the cake.
  4. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.

🎉 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve cold with a side of vanilla ice cream.
  • Add mini sparklers or American flag picks for extra flair.
  • Perfect centerpiece for your July 4th dessert table.

🧠 FAQs

Can I use boxed cake mix?
Yes! A vanilla or white cake mix saves time and works great for busy holiday prep.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Bake the cake a day before. Decorate on the same day you plan to serve for best freshness.

What fruit alternatives can I use?
Try raspberries for stripes and blackberries for stars if you’re out of strawberries or blueberries.
