This Red, White, and Blue cake is a quick and easy 4th of July cake idea, Memorial Day, or Labor Day dessert! It’s filled with fresh whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries.
Using a serrated knife cut off the top 1 inch of cake crosswise; set aside (see picture above).
Using a paring knife, cut all around the cake 1 inch from the inner edge. DO NOT cut all the way through the bottom, leaving a 1-inch-thick cake base on the bottom. Repeat and cut 1 inch from the outer edge.
Remove the cake from the cut cake ring, leaving about a 1-inch base at the bottom.
For the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Frosting:
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the whipping cream and vanilla, whip on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Using the same stand mixer bowl, add the cream cheese and powdered sugar and mix on medium speed until smooth and cream, about 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped cream until combined.
To Fill:
In a small bowl add 1 cup of the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Frosting. Fold in the berries and fill the cake cavity.
To Finish:
Add the cake top back on and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting and garnish with reserved berries.
