Berry Blast Cake

By á-8623

This cake is what is called a dessert roulade. By definition, a roulade is a dish, be it entree or dessert, that is prepared by wrapping a flat piece of material around a filling. In this case, the flat material is a light, chewy angel food cake and the filling a rich raspberry cream cheese.

A blueberry sauce adds zing and color, and the hostess can send her partygoers home knowing she's filled their stomachs and delighted their taste buds. For even more convenience, this roulade can be prepared up to a week in advance and frozen, then sliced and sauced at the holiday table. Either way you look at it, it's simple, tasty holiday success.
