Materials

  • 16 oz. box Angel Food cake, plus water per box directions
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 1 cup cherry yogurt, (regular or Greek)
  • 3.4 oz. box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 drops red or pink food coloring (optional)
  • 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 15 x 10" jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Per cake box directions, make cake batter and pour into pan. The pan will be full. Bake for 18 - 22 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
  • Gently loosen sides of cake from sides of pan. Dust top of cake with 1/4 cup powdered sugar, then lay a tea towel over the top. Flip cake over and carefully lift off pan, then parchment paper. Starting at short side, roll up cake in the tea towel jelly-roll style. Allow to cool completely on wire rack.
  • FILLING: Whisk together yogurt, dry pudding mix, and optional food coloring. Batter will be thick. Fold in whipped topping and cherry slices.
  • Unroll cake. Spread filling evenly over cake to within 1/4" of edges, then roll the cake back up again without the towel. Wrap cake tightly and freeze. Remove cake from freezer 30 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle top of cake with remaining 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

Change up the flavor by switching out the yogurt with strawberry or lime.
Store cake in freezer.
