Instructions

Start with making the half sheet cake

Step 1

Heat oven to 180°C / 356°F and line a Half Sheet Pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Whisk together the room temperature yogurt, eggs, sugar, and oil. Then add the vanilla extract.

Step 3

Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separete bowl.

Step 4

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a Rubber Spatula. Mix just until combined.

Step 5

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Step 6

Bake the cake at 180°C / 356°F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the cake completely cool before frosting. No need to remove it from the pan.

Prepare the cream cheese frosting

Step 8

Whip the cream cheese, mascarpone, and powdered sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Do not over whip as it can become runny.

Assemble the American Flag Cake

Step 9

Spread about half of the frosting on the surface of the sheet cake in a thin layer. Then put the rest of the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle tip.

Step 10

Arrange the strawberry halves and blueberry pieces as seen in the picture according to the American flag. There should be 50 blueberries and 7 horizontal lines of strawberries.

Step 11

Pipe the remaining frosting in between the lines of strawberries.

Step 12

The cake can be served immediately or refrigerated for 1-2 days.
