Lemon Blueberry Cake Roll (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake Base

01 - Boxed angel food cake mix (plus anything the package asks for)
02 - A quarter cup of powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

→ Lemon Cream Filling

03 - 250g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
04 - Three-fourths cup powdered sugar
05 - Three-fourths cup chilled heavy whipping cream
06 - A quarter cup of fresh lemon juice (1 lemon should do)
07 - Two tablespoons of lemon zest (from 1-2 lemons)
08 - Teaspoon of vanilla extract
09 - Yellow food coloring (optional, for extra color)

→ Filling and Topping

10 - One can of blueberry pie filling
11 - One cup whipping cream
12 - 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar
13 - Fresh blueberries to decorate
14 - Optional lemon slices for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Set the oven to 350°F. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet (10x15x1 inches) and lightly spray it to prevent sticking.
02 - Mix the angel food cake batter by following what the package says. Spread it onto the pan you prepared earlier, and bake for about 20 minutes until golden on top.
03 - Spread 1/4 cup powdered sugar on a clean kitchen towel, then flip the hot cake onto the towel. Starting from the short side, roll it up with the towel inside. Let it cool fully rolled up.
04 - Whip the cream cheese until smooth, then toss in the powdered sugar, cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat it until it thickens. If you want a pop of color, add yellow food coloring.
05 - Unroll the cooled cake and spread half of the cream filling evenly across the surface. Add the blueberry pie filling on top. Roll the cake back up (without the towel), and coat the outside with the rest of the cream filling.
06 - Whip the cream and powdered sugar together until it holds stiff peaks. Use this to decorate the roll, either piping it on or adding dollops. Sprinkle on fresh blueberries and lemon slices if you like.

# Notes:

01 - A 10x15x1-inch pan lets the cake bake thin enough to roll easily.
02 - You need to roll the cake while it's warm to stop cracks, then wait until it's totally cool for filling.
03 - Chilling the cake roll first helps you slice it cleanly.
