The combination of this light cake, strawberries, custard-like pudding is fabulous and festive looking.
These delicious blueberries will make everyone love the American Holiday seasons!
Whether it's Memorial Day, 4th of July or any other reason to make this festive looking cake, let the swooning begin!
Two recipes for sugar-free low carb and regular recipes for both cake and filling.
Two Version Angel Food and Pudding Recipes!
Here are two versions of this Patriotic cake I make for the red white and blue holiday!
I have a son that is diabetic and makes the sugar free-low carb version for him.
I make the other for those who want sugar and don't watch carbs
Both are a delicious cake, one of the recipes with sugar is adapted from Alton Brown's recipe and perfect every time!
Low Carb healthy desserts can fool many people that it's sugar-free, it tastes that good!

Festive and Delicious!
Of course for all those out there that want a quick dessert, you can use sugar-free mixes of both the pudding and cakes I make.
Those are available at the supermarket.
Since I am lucky enough to have the time to bake, I always make mine from scratch.
You can just use this guideline to make your delicious festive 4th of July Patriotic cake for your guests!
Egg White Make it so Light and Soft
I have always been a big fan of Angel food cake.
I love how it springs back when you touch it and it soaks up any kind of fruit purees.
The Cake is Fabulous Plain!
I can just eat it plain or with sliced fruits on top.
My favorite way to eat any cake is without frosting on it.
This Patriotic Angel Food Cake Low Carb or Regular taste cake with or without anything else on it!
Light and Tender Cake
If you decide to make your cake from scratch, they both come so light and tender.
We love the low carb sugar - free version with fruit on it, you really can't tell the difference in flavors.
If you are looking for healthy desserts, this one will be your go too recipe.
Pans and Tips
It's really not that hard, you do need a good angel food cake pan and follow the package instructions for baking and cooling so it doesn't stick.
The cake has an almost marshmallow taste, made with egg whites and very fluffy texture.
I love to decorate this white cake with the berries, it's a fun treat that everyone loves.
