One of the Summer BIG celebrations is July 4th. I was looking through my recipes, and I found Wave-Your-Flag Cake, it’s perfect for July 4th, which is right around the corner.
Wave-Your-Flag Cake Recipe
Wave-Your-Flag Cake
1 qt. strawberries (4 cups), divided
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8 serving size) Jell-O Strawberry flavor Gelatin
Ice cubes
1 cup cold water
1 pkg. (12 oz.) pound cake, cut into 10 slices
1 1/3 cups blueberries, divided
1 tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
Slice 1 cup of the strawberries. Halve the remaining strawberries; set aside.
Stir boiling water into the dry gelatin mix in large bowl minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 2 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until ice is melted. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
Meanwhile, line bottom of 13×9 inch dish with cake slices. Add sliced strawberries and 1 cup of the blueberries to thickened gelatin; stir gently. Spoon over cake slices.
Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Spread whipped topping over gelatin. Arrange strawberry halves on whipped topping for “stripes” of the flag. Arrange remaining 1/3 cup blueberries on whipped topping for “stars”. Store in refrigerator.
