Tips for Making American Flag Cake

You can use cherry or strawberry Jello instead of raspberry.

Don't like Jello? Use pureed fruit instead.

Swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a healthier poke cake.

How to Store 4th of July Cake

Wrap the cake in cling film and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Because of the frosting, this cake won't freeze well.
