Ingredients Needed:
Angel Food Cake Mix: plus whatever ingredients are needed to prepare the cake. In most cases, you’ll only need water. Powdered Icing Sugar: we’re using powdered sugar to dust the outside of the cake before rolling it up. This adds sweetness and helps prevent it from sticking or getting soggy as it cools. Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream: the base for our cream cheese filling. Lemon Juice and Zest: use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best lemon-y flavor. Vanilla Extract: adds depth of flavor. Yellow Food Coloring: this is optional, but gives the lemon filling that fresh yellow color. Blueberry Pie Filling: you can use store-bought filling or make a homemade filling. Heavy Whipping Cream and Powdered Sugar: makes up our homemade whipped topping. Fresh Blueberries and Lemon Slices: for garnish!

Tips and Notes for this Angel Food Cake Roll
Use a baking sheet. A baking sheet (mine is 10″ by 15″ by 1″) creates the perfect thickness so the cake is easily rollable. I don’t recommend using any other pan. Line and grease the baking sheet. This makes it a whole lot easier to remove the cake from the pan in one piece. Work quickly. Once you turn the cake out onto the towel, roll it up right away. It’s more malleable when it’s hot. If it cools too much, it may crack when you roll it. Use a lint-free towel. Something thin and not fluffy means that we don’t have fuzzies on our cake. Sugar the towel. Adding a layer of powdered sugar to the towel helps prevent sticking. Cool the cake completely. If you add the filling while the cake is still hot, it will just melt and become runny. I also recommend chilling the cake again after you add the filling and before you slice it. This makes it easier to get nice clean cuts.
