Anyone looking for an American themed dessert for Memorial Day will love this Patriot Cake. I simplified the process with a boxed cake and prepared frosting, but if you’re feeling ambitious, bake from scratch.
To make a Patriot Cake, you’ll need:
- White cake mix or homemade cake ingredients
- 17 strawberries, halved
- 1/2 pint blueberries, approximate
- white frosting, store bought or homemade
Prepare cake according to recipe in a 9X13 Pyrex pan. Let cool fully for at least 45 minutes, then spread with a thick layer of frosting. Arrange whole blueberries and halved strawberries in the shape of an American flag.
So easy, huh? No need to divide batter into separate pans or fiddle with assembling wobbly layers. Just 1 pan and some toppings—my kind of cake! It’s even better with vanilla ice cream on the side.
In addition to Memorial Day, this would also be perfect for 4th of July, served as part of a BBQ feast.
oh wow …this looks so neat …I am going to have to fix this for the 4th of july
I like that the recipe is so easy. When it is hot, I never feel like baking much. This is a pretty cake.
Same here! I like quick desserts year-round and if minimal oven time—or no oven—is required, even better!
What a great idea for the 4th of July coming up!
I am so making this one for our 4th of July BBQ
