Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before whipping. If you don't have blueberry pie filling, you can substitute with homemade blueberry compote. Just cook fresh or frozen blueberries with a bit of sugar until thickened. To prevent sticking, dust your cake with powdered sugar before rolling, which can also add a nice sweetness.
