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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Perfect thing for Sunday breakfast!! Looks delish!!
Prefect looking rolls, feel like having some slices..
This really is a tea cake! Not just a tea cake to have with tea but a cake with actual tea - I am so excited over it - can you tell? Lovely, pliable and enchanting.
What a beautiful cake! I love the addition of tea to this. :)
Promise me if I make this beautiful tea cake (I still have blueberries from last summer) that it will roll up as nicely as yours!
Oh!! You post all wonderful recipes. I am a huge fan of your blog. Love your cake roll.
Beautiful clicks and mouthwatering cake.
Yum! What a wonderful dessert for tea!
Love the swirl, looks so delicate & tasty
Perfect Angie! The texture, the flavours, just everything looks so good!
I really like the sponge cakes especially with a subtle tea flavor; I made these for years for my kids and it always disappears within hours.
Absolutely gorgeous looking, and it sounds delicious! Blueberries and tea together in sweet bread form? Amazing :)
Looks so good on its own, I don't think I would need whipped cream or ice cream!
What a beautiful cakeroll Angie!
Your cake is beautiful. Baked to perfection! A slice (or two!) of this would be lovely with a cup of warm tea, looks so good!
Looks light and delicious! Have a good weekend!
A lovely roll, would love to have some with my cup of coffee now!!
Yummy, swiss rolls with tea in it - lovely.

Delicious spongy roll I think it's will make the tea party rock!
Wow that texture looks so light and dreamy! I love the blueberry flavor.
Angie, a really gorgeous looking cake roll. I love cake textures which are light and fluffy .. definitely right up my alley!
Hi Angie! I have not been out visiting in the blogosphere for a number of weeks but always read with my email subscription! This looks so delicious and I'm totally intrigued by the texture and rolling. Wish I could reach through the screen for a bite! Hope you are well.
This looks light and delicious! I love blueberries in cake :)
A rolled up cake always gets people's attention. Looks tasty!
What a lovely cake. It has such a soft crumb and looks so moist that I know I'd love to have a slice of it. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
un roulé de gâteau parfait avec une belle texture
à bientôt
I will eat them on its own, with black coffee. :)
This looks wonderful, I have been on a real blueberry kick lately. I'm with tigerfish, I'd have this with a cup of coffee right about now!
They look perfect! Love the tea flavour and the berries!
perfect for me right now!
So creative! I love cake rolls and had never thought of adding tea as an ingredient.
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?
The cake looks amazing. I would probably have it with ice cream! YUM!! :)
This cake looks so light and delicious. I need to take lessons from you for rolling cakes so perfectly without cracking :).
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;-)
Angie, you're always spot on the use of some of my favorite ingredients. Wild blueberry is my absolute top ingredient for baking. Have a nice day!
Angie ANgie Angie - you really should retitle your site to Angie's Incredible Breads and other savoury dishes... you have such a wonderful ability to make the most tasty looking, usually nutritious - an beautifully made breads!

beautiful roll and it look refreshing and good!
I'm impressed that you seem to bake as much as you cook. Not easy to be adept at both. I'm only capable of cooking. Love Joan Gussow quote above.
WOW, what a gorgeous blueberry tea cake roll and amazingly neat and perfect, no cracks! Glad you left a comment so I could discover your awesome blog (love the layout). Talk about photos! Beautiful!
Such a lovely swirl of flavor inside a beautiful and moist cake. I'll have to look for blueberry tea!
So pretty. It looks like the perfect addition to our regular Sunday brunch.
That looks delicious. I love love blueberries and it is great you used tea.
I could eat a whole pot of that. YUM!!! It looks AMAZING!!

Wonderful tea cake, am sure must be delightful to ahve them with a cup of hot tea... !
So pretty. Blueberry tea, what a brilliant addition. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful reinvention of the jelly roll. Love the addition of blueberry tea. Thanks!
Il tuo blog è bellissimo! E' uno spazio pieno di ricette incredibili, è per questo che ho deciso di seguirti! Complimenti!
Paola
I'm loving these cakes!! But they make me want to be at home with a cup of tea instead of being here at work
A rolled cake always looks so elegant and adding tea to the flavors here is so creative! Congrats on the Top 9 today!
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!
What a neat use of blueberry tea. This cake roll looks so yummy.
This is soo much perfect with a cup of tea / coffee....
Great accompaniment :)
@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.
The spiral is so pretty, and the tea and blueberry flavors sound great!
Lovely looking rolls! Perfect for tea time!!
Angie, these blueberry rolls, are so elegant, and delicious, it would be an awesome treat at the "finest" tea party, or served for company. Love it!
The cross section just looks amazing!
Angie, you're a genius! I super love the tea flavour you're using. Simply gorgeous. Bookmarked it for later use. Thanks again. Hope you're having a great day.
Kristy
They look enticing indeed! Surely this tastes so delicious!
Sell WoW Account
Yummy's the word, Angie! Always enjoy your clicks!
How pretty they look, hard to eat hard I say!
loved the recipe...looks delicious!
Angie...I'll have my piece with some ice-cream please ;o)
The addition of tea in dessert is something I have yet to use. It's on the list of things to try...along with friands still not touched. LOL
Ciao for now,
Claudia
These look amazing and we are starting to get such great blueberries. I have to try this! Just notice you are from Germany? We will be in Munich two days this summer... any great food suggestions?
@Ashlea Taylor
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.
That looks wonderful!
Angie, I've try out the recipe, the roll is really yummy!! But I've problem with browning the roll, can I check which oven rack did you use for this baking?
@Ah Tze
I baked it on the top rack.
This looks so tasty! I have volunteered to bring snacks to work one morning next week, and this is perfect!
This looks very pretty and delicious. Great for afternoon tea.
I'm loving the maple syrup in this one!! Nicely done!
