We LOve A Festive Treat
We love celebrating our patriotic holidays with family and delicious food – especially desserts! Fourth of July and Memorial Day are filled with so many favorite treats like today’s American Flag Cake (which is so simple, festive and delicious). After you try this yummy recipe that is based off of our White Chocolate Sheet Cake, you’ll see why this is one of our go-to 4th of July desserts.
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 25 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes CHILL TIME: 1 hour Cake
1 cup unsalted butter 1 cup water 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups sugar 2 eggs – room temperature eggs incorporate better with the other ingredients ½ cup sour cream ½ teaspoon almond extract
Frosting
2 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 2 – 3 cups powdered sugar – sift to get rid of any hard lumps ⅓ cup pineapple juice 2 – 3 cups (about 1 pound) strawberries – This recipe uses strawberry slices, but strawberry halves or rows of raspberries would also work. 1 cup blueberries – avoid frozen blueberries as they will become mushy and bleed juices when they thaw.
