Blueberry Tea Cake Rolls


A soft spongy cake roll prepared with eggs, sugar, flour and ceylon tea bags with a delightful blueberry flavour. Those cake slices taste very nice on its own, but they can be served with whipped cream, or ice cream.

Yolk BatterMeringue
  • 4 Large egg yolks
  • 30 g Maple syrup
  • 50 g Vegetable oil
  • 50 g Milk
  • 90 g Cake flour
  • 9 g Blueberry tea (about 3 tea bags)
  • 2 g Baking powder
  • 5 Large egg whites
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 100 g Caster sugar
  1. Line a 30x40-cm baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Beat the egg yolks, maple syrup, vegetable oil and milk until thoroughly blended. Whisk together the cake flour, blueberry tea, and baking powder. Sift the flour mixture into the yolk mixture. Fold to combine.
  2. Beat egg whites with salt and lemon juice over low speed until frothy and foamy. Gradually add in sugar, increase speed and beat until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold 1/3 of egg white mixture into yolk mixture to lighten it and then carefully fold in remaining whites.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top. Transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a sheet of baking paper dusted with icing sugar. Carefully peel off the the paper liner and trim the edges of cake. Roll up from the short side.

[Reply]
Gourmantine 20/3/11 20:37

The cake looks so delightful! I'm drooling over the idea of cooking with tea, heard that it gives much more flavour in baking than in the actual tea infusion, is it so?

[Reply]
Kate @ Diethood.com 20/3/11 20:56

The cake looks amazing. I would probably have it with ice cream! YUM!! :)

I also love a rolled cake like this, especially with blueberries. I like the idea of using tea and am wondering about different flavors that could be used. Hope you're enjoying your weekend;-)

A rolled cake always looks so elegant and adding tea to the flavors here is so creative! Congrats on the Top 9 today!

Stevie 21/3/11 17:41

This looks like it would be extremely tasty for breakfast, as a snack or dessert. I am unfamiliar with Blueberry tea. Where do you find that? Could you use fresh or frozen blueberries instead?

It looks like you could spread a layer of jam or even Nutella on the cake prior to rolling to increase variety. What do you think would work?

I want to try this recipe once my kitchen has returend to working order!

Angie's Recipes 21/3/11 20:27

@Stevie I used the tea bags..you know, those tea bags with different flavours, which you can get them almost every supermarket here. I am sorry that it can't be replaced with fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe. However, you can use other flavours, like vanilla, cherry.
Nutella sounds perfect as the filling.

That really got me. I am not a huge fan of heavy and hearty German food. But do try their Currywurst, and Schwarzwaldkuchen. My one and only favourite German food is bread.
