This is probably one of my favorite cakes to make. I love that it looks like a flag! The recipe I use is a version I put together when I joined Weight Watchers. I use a box of angel food cake mix (no fat!) with a can of diet sprite (no eggs, no oil). If you want, you can add a small can of crushed pineapple with no sugar added. Just be sure to drain it well, or you'll have a really soggy cake. (Hint: if you can't find no sugar added pineapple, just rinse and drain it well.)I bake it in a rectangular, glass pan for not quite as long as the package says, usually; I just watch until it gets golden brown. For the frosting, use a large container of sugar free (or fat free) Cool Whip. Use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of blueberries and a quart of strawberries cut in half to make the flag. I like to keep it in the fridge and serve it chilled. The PPVs, for you Weight Watchers, will be determined by the brand of cake mix you use (you can use a regular white cake mix), the type of whipped topping, and the number of servings you choose to cut. Enjoy and have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
