Print Recipe

A quick and festive no-bake flag cake made with store-bought pound cake, whipped topping, and fresh strawberries and blueberries, perfect for patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought pound cake (about 16 oz or 450 g), plain or vanilla-flavored
  • 2 cups (480 ml) store-bought whipped topping or homemade whipped cream
  • 1 pint (about 1 1/2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the pound cake horizontally into two even layers, about 1.5 inches thick. Place one layer on a serving platter.
  2. Spread half of the whipped topping evenly over the bottom cake layer, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Arrange sliced strawberries in neat horizontal rows covering about two-thirds of the cake width.
  4. Fill the top-left corner of the cake with a dense cluster of blueberries, forming a rectangle about one-third of the cake width and length.
  5. Place the second pound cake layer on top carefully, pressing gently to avoid squishing the berries.
  6. Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the top layer.
  7. Decorate the top with additional sliced strawberries in horizontal stripes alternating with whipped cream dollops and place blueberries in the top-left corner to complete the flag design.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to let layers set and flavors meld.

Notes

Pat strawberries dry if very juicy to avoid soggy whipped topping. Chill cake before slicing for cleaner cuts. Can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with substitutions. Assemble up to a day ahead for best flavor melding.
