Tomorrow is Canada Day, so I thought I’d share a recipe for one of my favorite “themed” cakes – A Canadian Flag Cake! 🙂
I would have gone through all the steps to make this myself, but I’ve been a little busy getting ready to head out camping this weekend. Kraft Canada has a helpful video of how to do this cake, but here is a quick recipe on how to make it.
What you’ll need:
1 package (298 g) of prepared pound cake, cut into 12 slices
2 cups boiling water
2 packages (85 g each) of Jell-O Strawberry Jelly Powder
3 cups ice cubes
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping
Cover bottom of 13×9-inch dish with cake slices; set aside.
Add boiling water to jelly powders in large bowl. Stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add ice cubes and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until ice is melted. Remove any unmelted ice with a slotted spoon. Stir in 1 cup strawberries. Pour mixture over cake. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
Remove from the fridge and cover with Cool Whip. Refridgerate for 4 hours or until jelly is firm.
Now its time to arrange the remaining berries over dessert to resemble the Canadian flag. Using a toothpick, trace a maple leaf pattern on top of dessert. Place a strawberry slice on each leaf point, then fill in the leaf with remaining strawberries.
