💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option, while margarine is often less expensive.

fresh strawberries

🥗Healthier: frozen strawberries

💰Cheaper: canned strawberries

Frozen or canned strawberries can be more affordable and have a longer shelf life.

red food coloring

🥗Healthier: beet juice

💰Cheaper: none

Beet juice provides natural coloring without artificial additives.

Combine one white cake mix with the vanilla pudding mix powder, egg whites, water, vegetable oil, sour cream, and cream cheese to create the batter.

Spread the thick batter evenly into a greased 9x13" pan.

Bake the cake in the 9x13" pan at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting.

Cut out maple leaf shapes using a cookie cutter or paper template.

Measure and cut out two rectangle shapes for the red bars of the flag.

Make a second white cake mix according to package directions and pour about 1 cup of the batter into a greased loaf pan.

Gently insert the red bar pieces and line up the stacked maple leaves in the center, then cover completely with more white cake mix batter.

Bake until the uncooked batter is done, about 50 minutes at 350°F, covering with tinfoil if it gets too brown.

Allow to cool completely and remove from the pan. Frost as desired and slice.
