Flag Cake Using Box Cake Mix
After posting 4th of July Cupcake Using Cake Mix, here’s another easy 4th of July dessert you can make. All you need are white cake mix, eggs, butter, water and frosting ingredients. Let’s make this!
Ingredients for Flag Cake Using Box Cake Mix
- Cake mix: You can use any brand you like. In this recipe, I used Pillsbury white cake mix.
- Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolk. Place the yolks in a container and reserve them for next use. I often add one whole egg to the yolks and make them into scrambled eggs.
- Water
- Butter- I use melted unsalted butter.
Frosting Ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream
- sugar
- Nonfat cream cheese
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
How do you make it?
Make the Frosting
- Make the heavy whipping cream—I often make the whipping cream in advance and store it in the fridge. Attach the wire whip to the electric mixer and add the heavy whipping cream. Mix on high and add the sugar in three intervals. Mix until stiff peaks. Transfer the cream to a sealed container and refrigerate.
- Make the sweet cream- using the same electric mixer, place the cream cheese and mix it completely until smooth- no lumps. Add in the condensed milk and mix to try to smoothen lumps. Set aside until ready to use.
- Make the flag cake: Separate the eggs. We will use egg whites in this recipe. Place the egg whites in a large bowl. Remove the cake mix from the box and pour it into the bowl. Add the melted butter and water. Mix completely until no lumps are present.
