Almost everyone goes to a BBQ on the 4th of July. Make the one you’re at stand out with treats that match the fireworks! These recipes are healthy, patriotic, yummy and fun to make.

Fruity Flag Cake
 
Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
¾ cups milk
White cake frosting
Strawberries
Blueberries

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a rectangular cake pan.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt with wire whisk.
3. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one by one. Add vanilla and mix well.
4. Slowly add the flour alternating with adding in milk and pour mixture into pan.
5. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
6. Frost entire cake with white frosting
7. In the upper left-hand corner, put blueberries in a checkerboard pattern mimicking the pattern of the stars of the American flag! Leave space between them so that white frosting shows through.
8. Slice the strawberries to whatever size you like and arrange them in horizontal stripes with white space in between.

if you want a short dessert that won't take a long time to make but you still want something red, white, and blue for the 4th then you take strawberries and blueberries and put them into a bowl then you pour some whipping cream (in the carton) and sugar onto it! you must put sugar or the whipping cream will taste digusting Tong hope this helps!!!
