How to Make 4Th Of July Flag Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly into three bowls.
- In the first bowl, add the red food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
- In the second bowl, leave the batter plain (white).
- In the third bowl, add the blue food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour 1/3 of the white batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
- Pour 1/3 of the red batter over the white layer, spreading evenly.
- Pour the remaining white batter over the red layer, spreading evenly.
- Pour the remaining blue batter over the white layer, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite frosting. A simple cream cheese frosting complements the cake beautifully.
