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.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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?

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

    ReplyDelete

  48. 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;-)

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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!

  76. 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

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

    ReplyDelete
  78. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  79. What a neat use of blueberry tea. This cake roll looks so yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  80. This is soo much perfect with a cup of tea / coffee....
    Great accompaniment :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. @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.

    ReplyDelete
  82. The spiral is so pretty, and the tea and blueberry flavors sound great!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Lovely looking rolls! Perfect for tea time!!

    ReplyDelete

  91. 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

  92. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  93. @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.

    ReplyDelete
  94. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  95. This looks so tasty! I have volunteered to bring snacks to work one morning next week, and this is perfect!
