My boys are really into superheroes. Like, REALLY into superheros. I’m sure many of you moms with little boys can totally relate here 🙂 We have everything – masks, capes, toys, figures, and they still can’t get enough! Reece had an Avengers party for his last birthday and of course my boys were super heroes for Halloween!

We love creating recipes with a superhero theme and these Captain America cakes are just perfect! We made these for our last Avengers party and they were a huge hit. Of course Memorial Day is coming right up and these would be perfect for that as well! Totally easy to make and boy were they fun to eat!

Ingredients

2 pound cakes I used Sara Lee
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
fresh strawberries sliced
fresh blueberries

Instructions

Slice the pound cake into even slices. Use a circle cutter to cut out a circle from each slice.
Beat the heavy cream in a chilled bowl just until soft peaks form. Add in vanilla and sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks from.
Spread a layer of whipped cream on one pound cake and layer with blueberries and/or strawberries. Add another slice of pound cake and repeat.
Use the blueberries and strawberries to create a design on top if you desire.
