Red, White, & Blue Bundt Cake with Fresh Berries is a festive recipe with a yellow cake topped with vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberries & blueberries.
Today as a nation we are celebrating those men and women. Our fallen heroes that dedicated their lives to serving our country, fighting for our rights, our freedoms, our liberty. Today, I think of those lives sacrificed.
Today isn’t just about the barbecues, pool parties, or who made the best potato salad. It’s about remembering that we are apart of something greater than ourselves. That we are a part of a country that will continue to fight for our rights. While not all of us are called to serve, there are those that volunteered or were called upon and said yes.
To continue to ensure that we are safe, that we continue to have the rights that we do and who serve not only our country but bring aid to those around the world. I am proud to be an American. I am proud those fallen heroes and their families, their families sacrifice.
Enjoy this day with family and friends. Enjoy this day with your freedom and a grateful heart.

How do you make this Red, White, & Blue Bundt Cake with Fresh Berries?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients: cake mix, pudding, and flour.
Beat in water, milk eggs and vanilla extra until smooth.
Stir in 12-ounce bag of white chocolate chips, if desired. I didn’t do this, for this cake.
Pour into prepared bundt pan for 50-55 minutes until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cook cake for 15 minutes on cooling rack, then turn cake over on cake plate or stand. Prepare buttercream frosting.
In a large bowl cream butter until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar to the butter and beat until smooth. Gradually beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream with an electric mixer until smooth.
Continue to beat for 3 -5 minutes until buttercream is smooth and whipped in texture. Depending on the type of buttercream you want, add more cream or less. I like mine to be stiff, but not too thick. I use about 3-4 tablespoons of heavy cream.
Frost a thin layer of frosting on the cake. I did this in sections right before I added the fruit. Add blueberries to the cake, as pictured. I did one larger section. Alternate strawberries and vanilla buttercream. I did this by the larger sections of the bundt cake pan, I put the strawberries and then I did the buttercream on the small strips of the bundt cake. You can do the frosted part of the cake any way you would like, I ended up using a large star tip.
Devour, and enjoy!
