The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays; parades, family, friends, fireworks, and food…you can’t forget the food!

This is a cake I could see my mom making, it’s semi-homemade, quick & easy, and super delicious.

Ingredients 

– store-bought Angel Food cake – whipping cream – vanilla extract – cream cheese – powdered sugar – strawberries – blueberries

Prep Time: 1h 10 mins.

Servings: 8 people

NOTE: The frosting on the cake will start to melt if left out for more than 2 hours, less if in the heat. So keep it in the fridge until just before serving.
