Ingredients




Flag Cake Ingredients:
Box of angel food cake mix, or premade 9X13 angel food cake
4-5oz/half a container of Philadelphia strawberry cream cheese spread, at room temp
1/3 cup or approx 40 blueberries
1 cup or approx 15 large strawberries, stemmed and sliced thin
Whipped Frosting:
8oz Philadelphia cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Preparation

1 Place a mixing bowl and beaters/mixer into the freezer so they will be icy cold for the whipped frosting. 2 Bake cake according to box instructions in a 9X13 pan. 3 Let cool completely then flip upside down onto a tray or baking sheet. 4 Using a large serrated knife, slice through the middle of the cake width wise and separate the layers. 5 Spread the strawberry cream cheese spread onto the bottom of the split layer and smooth onto the whole layer. 6 Replace the layer so the strawberry spread is in the middle of the cake. 7 Take the bowl and beaters out of the freezer and add cream cheese and sugar to the bowl. 8 Mix on medium until smooth then slowly add the heavy cream. Beat on high until fluffy. 9 Add vanilla and almond extract and beat on low until blended. 10 Frost onto cake (you will have some left over) covering the top and sides. 11 To decorate: in the top left corner add 6-7 rows of blueberries about 6 across, these are the stars of the flag. 12 Now add horizontal rows of sliced strawberries, lying flat on their sides slightly on top of one another. You should have about 4 rows. 13 Chill until ready to serve then slice into squares and enjoy!
