Icelandic Flag Cake Recipe to celebrate Icelandic National Day

Icelandic National Day is coming up in a few days. This annual holiday (Icelandic: Þjóðhátíðardagurinn) was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson. Jón is a major figure of Icelandic culture from the 19th century.

Perfect time to start thinking of ways to celebrate and here we came up with an Icelandic Flag Cake which is a fast fun way to serve during the holiday. 🎈  I decided to make a simple cake in comparison to some of the larger flag cakes I have done before.  This cake only requires one baking pan.  If you want to have a filling in the center, you can easily slice it in half.

As well, I have lots of raspberries growing on my raspberry bush.  So luckily I could use the raspberries for the cake.  So I decided to use the red raspberries for the red cross that is on the cake. 

 

As well I purchased fresh blueberries and whipped cream to complete the flag.  I decided to use the whipped cream from a can because I was not make a complicated pattern.  However, I suggest to add the whipped cream at the very last step. The whipped cream fluffiness will start disappearing shortly after shaking it out of the can.  So I suggest to serve the cake right away. 🍴
