    How to make 4th of July cake made with brownies

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, prepare brownies as directed on the brownie box. You can do this by hand or use a mixer. Pour the chocolate mixture from the bowl into a 8 to 9 inch round cake pan that has been coated with cooking spray. You might have extra batter leftover.

    If you are looking to save time on clean up, cut a circle of parchment paper to fit in the pan before pouring in the batter.

    Bake in the oven according to package directions typically 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownie cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the cake pan.

    Remove the brownie from the pan and transfer to a cooling wire rack. Let the brownie cool for 5-10 minutes.

    Coat the 4th of July flag cake with brownies in cream cheese frosting.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I store this brownie cake?

    Due to the fruit component, you are going to want to store leftovers of these fourth of July brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can store for up to 4 days.

    What kind of brownie mix is best for these brownies?

    We use the mix that they sell at Aldi, but any will do.

    How to Make Meal Planning Easy

    Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don't worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

    Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

    That's it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

    We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
