Ingredients
Scale

- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 2/3 cups C&H® Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Butter (softened)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 13×9-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper and grease it again.
- Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add flour mixture and milk alternately, mixing on low speed.

- Decorate with blueberries and strawberries. Chill before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is softened and the mixing bowl for whipped cream is chilled. Decorate with fruits in a flag pattern for festive occasions.
