This mini American flag cake is a small batch version of the popular American flag sheet cakes for 4th of July celebrations. The cake starts with a fluffy, white sheet cake base baked in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. The cake is then topped with freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit (typically, blueberries and raspberries or strawberries). This fruit is arranged in the shape of an American flag. However, if you’re not feeling particularly patriotic, feel free to skip the flag decor! Simply top the cake with any fruit of your choice instead. It’s delicious either way.
