Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch jelly-roll pans with aluminum foil.
- Prepare the angel food cake mix following the package directions.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Spread the batter evenly in each pan.
- Cut through the batter with a knife or spatula to remove large air bubbles.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or until set.
- Invert the cakes onto towels dusted with confectioners sugar and let cool completely.
- Carefully remove the foil from the cakes.
- Roll up each cake with the towel in jelly roll fashion and cool completely.
- Unroll the cakes carefully.
- Spread about 1 cup of blueberry pie filling on each cake, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Re-roll the cakes and place seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Dust with confectioners sugar before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh blueberries in addition to the pie filling for extra flavor. If you don't have confectioners' sugar, you can blend granulated sugar until fine. To prevent sticking, ensure the towels are generously dusted with confectioners' sugar before inverting the cakes. If you're making this for a gathering, consider trying variations like adding lemon zest to the filling for a citrus twist.
Serving Suggestions
These cake rolls are delightful on their own but can be enhanced with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair beautifully with Dad'S Famous Garlic Slaw for a refreshing contrast. For a festive touch, serve them alongside fresh fruit or a light berry sauce to elevate the presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Blueberry Angel Food Cake Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the cakes from drying out, place a piece of wax paper between layers. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften before serving, if desired.
