INGREDIENTS
Ingredients 12 Servings
- 1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Blue McCormick® Neon Food Colors & Egg Dye
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Red Food Color
- 1 container (16 ounces) white frosting
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding vanilla. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the batter. Tint blue with neon blue food color. Tint remaining batter red with cocoa powder and red food color. Pour each color batter into separate 9x5-inch loaf pans sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
- 2 Bake 20 to 25 minutes for blue-tinted cake; 30 to 35 minutes for red-tinted cake. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely.
- 3 Trim cakes to remove rounded tops and edges. Slice red cake in half horizontally to form 2 thin layers. Place 1 of the layers on platter. Slice remaining red cake layer in half lengthwise. Slice blue cake in half lengthwise. (Blue and red cakes should be the same dimensions.)
- 4 Frost red cake layer on platter with 1/3 of the frosting. Top with a layer of 1 red and 1 blue cake placed side by side. Frost with 1/3 of the frosting. Repeat cake layer and frosting. Garnish with raspberries and blueberries to resemble a flag.
