Steps:
- Make the cake:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan and line the bottom with wax or parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust the pan with flour, knocking out any excess.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the boiling water, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules until smooth. Whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- In a second medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars and beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium until fully incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour and cocoa powder mixtures in batches, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. (The batter may look curdled.) Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top, and bake the cake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack, remove the wax or parchment paper, and let it cool completely. DO AHEAD: The unfrosted cake, can be cooled, wrapped securely in plastic wrap, and stored at room temperature up to 24 hours, before assembling and serving.
- Make the frosting:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and butter and beat until creamy and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, add the sifted confectioners' sugar in three batches, mixing until fully incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is smooth. Chill the frosting in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before assembling the cake.
- Assemble and serve the cake:
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with 2 1/2 cups of the frosting. Transfer the remaining frosting to a pastry bag fitted with the star tip.
- Using a toothpick or small knife, outline a 4 1/2-inch-long by 3 1/2-inch-wide rectangle in the top left corner of the cake. This area will be reserved for blueberries.
- Starting with the longer side of the cake that is closest to you, pipe a line of frosting along the top edge of the cake then arrange two horizontal rows of raspberries directly above the line of frosting. Pipe a second line of frosting above the raspberries and arrange two more horizontal rows of raspberries directly above the frosting. Repeat this process two more times, making sure to exclude the top left corner that is reserved for the blueberries. Arrange the blueberries in horizontal rows in the top left corner of the cake.
- Slice and serve the cake immediately or store it, covered securely in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Beat cold milk and instant pudding in a bowl until no lumps remain. Beat cream cheese in a separate bowl until creamy. Gradually add in milk-pudding mixture and mix until smooth. Mix in whipped topping.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until crumbs are completely moistened. Spread into a 9x13-inch baking dish and push down to create an even crust.
- Set aside 45 blueberries and 60 raspberries for topping. Mix remaining blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries together in a bowl and pour on top of the graham cracker crust. Spread pudding mixture evenly over the berries, making the top as smooth as possible. Top with reserved blueberries and raspberries to make a flag design.

Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Red Velvet Cake With Blackberry–Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting. Rich and juicy blackberries are ideal partners a classic, softly chocolaty red velvet cake—as the baker Jocelyn Delk Adams makes clear in this absolute showstopper.
- Cherry Biscuit Cobbler. The cherry filling in this cobbler is intentionally juicy; the shortcake-inspired biscuit topping will soak up the extra liquid.
- Pastel Butter Cookies. You can dye these sumptuous, buttery almond cookies red, white, blue, or any other color with the clever use of freeze-dried fruit: Simply grind blueberry, strawberry, or the hue/flavor of your choice with confectioners' sugar for rolling the cookies through.
- Strawberry Balsamic Shortcakes. Strawberry shortcake is a classic summer recipe, but this version—courtesy of cookbook author Jerrelle Guy—adds a couple tasty twists: The rich warm flavors of the biscuits, made with olive oil and whole wheat flour, go wonderfully with the zippy balsamic glaze and macerated strawberries.
- Whipped Cream Cake. At first glance, this cake seems to contain no butter or oil. But dig in deeper and you'll find that the butterfat in the heavy cream does the job and then some, yielding a moist cake with an unbelievably tender crumb.
- Any Berry Galette. Throw in blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries for a 4th of July theme, though take note that everything will probably have melted to a beautiful purple by the time you pull this out of the oven.
- Lemon Curd with Berries. This very lemony curd is made with whole eggs instead of just the yolks, which gives it an extra-light texture. Lemon curd is so good that you can eat it with a spoon, but try it served over vanilla ice cream with fresh berries for a festive look, or drizzled on top of that whipped cream cake you scrolled by a minute ago.
- Mix-and-Match Fools. There are few joys greater than eating ripe berries straight from the carton. But here’s one: tossing them with sugar so they’re juicier and sweeter, then folding them into freshly whipped cream.
- Sour Cherry Pie. The secret to this polka-dotted beauty is in the flour. Using almond flour makes the crust tender, toasty, and full of nutty flavor—try finding that in any other cherry pie.
- White Peach and Bourbon Vanilla Ice-Cream. No ice cream maker will be enlisted in the making of these boozy, cooling, colorful summer treats—all you need is a food processor and a little bit of time.
