4TH OF JULY
FLAG CAKE
Submitted by Judi
We had fun making this cake on July 4 with our family. We cut the recipe from a magazine and the contributors are Kraft and Sara Lee.
1-2 lb. strawberries
1 pound cake (Sara Lee or other), cut in slices
1-2 pints blueberries
1 16-oz. heavy cream, whipped; or 1 12-oz. tub Cool
Whip, thawed.
Slice all strawberries in half. Set aside 1 cup for decorating later. Also, set aside 50 blueberries for decoration.
Line bottom of pyrex with pound cake slices.
Next, add a layer of sliced strawberries onto cake slices.
Next, add a layer of blueberries, about 1 cup.
Then, add all the whipped cream to cover.
Decorate cake by making an American flag design with the set aside blueberries and strawberries - a square of blueberries upper left corner (for the states) and alternating rows of strawberries for the stripes of the flag.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serves 15.
Tip: Melt strawberry jelly or use strawberry pie filling for presentation - to drizzle on individual serving plate, if desired. Another option: use blueberry syrup drizzle for presentation on individual serving plate beside cake.
