This is such a perfect dessert for any spring or summer holiday but really great for a patriotic holiday. I love a layered lemon cake with whipped cream and fruit for dessert that looks like you spend a lot of time on it but in reality it doesn’t take much time at all to make. The whipped cream and fruit do all the work for your presentation.

Frost the top of the cake with more whipped cream and place strawberries or other fruit on top.
Just look at all that yummy goodness! Fluffy whipped cream, juicy red strawberries and moist lemon cake. Does it get any better than that?
Patriotic Decoration
I love to serve this cake with a few American flags stuck into it or around it. It just says America to me because of the red white and blue. You could even use blueberries sprinkled on top and you wouldn’t even need to add any flags.
Really anytime of year you can make this lemon layered cake with whipped cream and fruit and no one would complain haha.
I served this to our family and there was not one piece left! If you are looking for a few other patriotic desserts try my Pound cake trifle or my mini no bake pound cake fruit tarts

YUM! I am pinning to my Desserts and Sweets board.
You did a fantastic job! I really enjoy when you feature this type of work. While I realize that you definitely choose different finishes based on sell-ability, it's really nice that you at least go way better than the standard "builder grade" stuff that's been seen. You've got my dream job- I'd love to pick finishes like this! Anyway, great job.
