Directions
Canada Day Flag Cake,This recipe is from Canadian Living magazine, posted in response to a request from a Zaar member who had lost her copy.,This was a lovely cake, light and fluffy and delicious! I made it for our annual Canada Day celebration barbeque. My only problem was trying to make the maple leaf….I am severely challenged artistically lol! I ended up having 2 red stripes and a sort of blobby looking maple leaf in the center! My friends were kind enough to say it looked like a leaf though. Next time I will make some sort of template of a leaf. I am sure my DH could have made it look fine but he was busy. It tasted fantastic anyway, and it was already dug into before I could come back outside with the camera! Well written, easy to follow recipe. Thanks for a winner Lennie!,wonderful cake! We loved it. I think we can always count on recipes from Canadian Living!
