Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
-
Divide the batter into three equal portions. Leave one portion plain, color one portion with red food coloring, and color the other portion with blue food coloring.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish, alternating between the three colors to create a quilt-like pattern.
-
Use a knife to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, spread whipped cream over the top of the cake.
-
Decorate with sliced strawberries and blueberries in a patriotic pattern.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
-
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
