Low Fat Strawberry Angel Food Cake Roll

STRAWBERRY LEMON ANGEL FOOD CAKE ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 10x15x1" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (a little cooking spray on the pan helps the parchment to stay put!)
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and required amount of water as directed on the box.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-23 minutes, until light golden brown on top.
• Dust a clean, lint-free kitchen towel with powdered sugar and turn the warm cake out onto the towel. Peel off the parchment.
• Roll the cake up with the towel, starting at the short end. Let cool completely (if leaving it more than a few hours, be sure to wrap completely in a towel or place in an airtight container or bag).
• While your cake is cooling, make your lemon curd. In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar, eggs, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (it will coat the back of a spoon). Stir in butter.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Press a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap onto the surface of the lemon curd in the bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least a few hours.
• Just before assembling, make your whipped cream. In a large bowl, beat your room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar and beat again until combined. Add cream and beat on low until incorporated, then on high until thickened and fluffy (see video for desired texture).
• Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread with lemon curd, leaving a few inches at the far end of the cake (it will squish down as you roll it).
• Cover with chopped strawberries (save some for the top!) and carefully roll back up.
• Place on a serving plate and cover with cream cheese whipped cream, then decorate with strawberries and lemon slices if desired.

TRIPLE BERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE ROLL (A RED, WHITE AND BLUE DESSERT) + VIDEO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line the bottom of a 10x15x1" rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (make sure that it lays flat on the bottom). Do not grease the pan.
• Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges start to crack. *NOTE: It will rise up in the pan significantly, even over the top. But even though it gets high it should not flow over -- if you're concerned, slip an extra baking sheet or a piece of foil underneath just in case.
• Loosen cake from the edges of the pan while it's still warm -- it's going to be a little sticky, like angel food cake is, but it will come away easily.
• Spread out a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup powdered sugar. Flip warm cake out onto the towel, peel off the parchment paper and immediately roll up starting at the short end, WITH the towel inside. Let cool completely (at room temperature for 1-2 hours or pop it in the fridge or freeze momentarily if you're impatient like me! You don't want it hot inside when you add your filling.)
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add ¾ cup powdered sugar, vanilla and cream and beat on low until combined, then on high for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
• Unroll cooled cake (you can just leave it laying on the towel) and spread with half of the filling and top with half of the berries. Carefully roll back up (this time without the towel!) and place on a serving plate. Spread top and sides with remaining filling and top with remaining berries. Serve immediately (leftovers are best eaten within 24 hours).

LIGHT LAYERED ANGEL FOOD DESSERT (LOW-FAT)

Steps:

• Get your three main ingredients prepared and then it's just a matter of assembly.
• First, thaw strawberries. Mash up any large chunks; mix in balsamic vinegar. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. Set aside.
• Second, cut angel food cake into slices no more than 1" thick. You'll be dividing this for THREE layers, so try to get 18 slices.
• Third, just before assembly, mix UNdrained pineapple, dry pudding mix and 1/2 the thawed Cool Whip. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. It will start to firm up as it sits, so you'll want to do your assembly as soon as this mixture is ready.
• Assembly: I use a 9" square glass baking dish. Arrange angel food slices, pineapple/pudding mix, strawberries. Repeat those three layers so now you have six layers. The next layer will be angel food cake. The top layer will be the remaining Cool Whip. Feel free to garnish with some fresh fruit.
• Chill in refrigerator several hours in order for the cake to absorb the moisture and flavor.
• If you have a clear glass trifle bowl, this dessert will be as delightful to look at as it is to eat!
