In preparation for the holiday festivities this week,
I wanted to share this delicious and easy cake roll.
You can make it a day or so before and put it in the refrigerator and it will be ready for your cookout!

4th of July Angel Food Cake Roll

1 Box Duncan Hines Angel Food Cake Mix

1 small White Chocolate Instant Pudding

8 oz Cool Whip

1 cup milk

1 cup sliced strawberries

1 cup blueberries

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

Mix cake mix according to package directions.

I line my jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

Pour the cake mix into the jelly roll pan and bake on

350 degrees about 15-18 minutes until cake tests done.

Cool on rack about 5 minutes.

Lift cake out by the parchment paper and set on counter.

Place a clean, large, kitchen towel on the counter and sprinkle

the 1/2 cup confectioners sugar over the towel.

Turn the cake over onto the towel and

pull the parchment paper off.

Slowly roll up the towel and then set

the cake aside to cool completely.

In mixing bowl, beat the pudding and milk till smooth.

Stir in the cool whip.

When cake is cool, unroll.

Spread with pudding mixture and top with the berries.

Carefully roll up the cake and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.

This is one I made with strawberries and kiwis--

It was wonderful as well!

I won tickets to a Brad Paisley concert
this past month and was so very excited!

The only "downer" the story was that it would be an
outside concert in Alabama in June...
y'all know how I am about the heat...
and "glistening"...
and whining...

Anyway, the sweet man of my life had been given one of
the new "cooling towels" that seem to be all the rage right now.

He decided it would probably be a great idea
to get me one also...he's pretty brilliant!

Well, he did pick up one for me...
it wasn't the same brand as the one that he had,
but there could not be many differences
to this wonder towel right??

This is his...before he gets it wet...
