Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon Blue food coloring
• 2 cup Whipped cream
• 1 cup Strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup Blueberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk.
5. Divide the batter into three equal parts. Leave one part plain, add red food coloring to the second part, and blue food coloring to the third part.
6. Spoon the batters into the prepared baking pan, creating three horizontal stripes (red, white, and blue).
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, spread whipped cream over the top of the cake. Arrange sliced strawberries in the shape of the American flag's red stripes, and place blueberries in the corner for the stars.
10. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
