It seems an odd time to be celebrating America right now, what with the state of our Commander-in-Chief’s Twitter account, but nothing will get you in the spirit to stand up and sing your favorite anthem like Ina Garten’s famous Fourth of July Cake.
The Jewish chef and American inspiration posted an Instagram video of herself making a cake in double-time for this weekend’s festivities.
If you know what’s good for yourself, watch the video below. Just try not to get depressed when you try and fail to recreate it later on.
