Time 1h15m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

18 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
blueberries
raspberries
strawberry

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter,flour an 18 by 13 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan. Or, I like to use parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed, until light and fluffy. On medium speed, add the eggs, 2 at a time, then add the sour cream and vanilla. Scrape down the sides and stir until smooth.
  • Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
  • For the icing, combine the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mixing just until smooth.
  • Spread three-fourths of the icing on the top of the cooled sheet cake. Outline the flag on the top of the cake with a toothpick. Fill the upper left corner with blueberries. Place 2 rows of raspberries across the top of the cake like a red stripe. Put the remaining icing in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe two rows of white stripes below the raspberries. Alternate rows of raspberries and strawberries for the red stripes, and icing for the white stripes, until the flag is completed. Pipe stars on top of the blueberries.
  • You can serve this cake right in the pan, or, if you want to turn it out onto a board before frosting, use parchment paper when you grease and flour the pan.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the glaze was too thick and sweet. I won't be making it again.

I've been making this cake for years, and it's always a favorite. It's so moist and flavorful, and the glaze is to die for. I highly recommend it.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think it would be better with a less sweet glaze.

I'm not a big fan of cake, but this one is really good. It's moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making it again.

This cake was just okay. It was a little dry, and the glaze was too sweet. I probably won't make it again.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the glaze was too thick and sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a hit at my 4th of July party! It was so moist and flavorful, and the star-shaped sprinkles added a festive touch. I'll definitely be making this again next year.
