This cake is perfect for your patriotic festivities! While I love to make it with white cake mix this recipe is really good with strawberry cake too! If you have a from scratch cake recipe you love, you can certainly use that too! You can customize the flavor of this cake by using any flavor of red or blue jello (I usually use strawberry)!
The cheesecake topping on this cake is my favorite, it’s creamy and just lightly sweetened (and is perfect with the berries)! If cheesecake isn’t your preferred dessert, you can use your favorite whipped topping and skip the cream cheese, I’ve made it that way several times as well and it is delicious too!
A little serving tip: If you cut the cake into squares before putting the cream cheese layer on, it makes the cake super easy to serve and helps to keep the Flag Cake looking great, even after everyone has started to dig into it! Just simply cut the cake once the Jell-O has set and then add the topping. When you reach into the cake with a spatula it will naturally lift where you’ve already cut it making it easy to serve and less messy!
