Ingredients

  • 16 oz. box angel food cake mix 1-step, just-add-water type
  • 9-10 ounces blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed) for 1 cup of mashed blueberries
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional
  • lemon whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

Blueberry Angel Food Cake

  • Move the oven rack to the lowest position to make room for the angel food cake pan. Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mash the blueberries with a fork (see notes for tips). You need one cup of mashed blueberries.
    Mix the cake mix, mashed blueberries, water, and lemon zest (if using) in a very large mixing bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan. Run a thin knife through the batter to prevent air pockets.
    Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown with dry cracks and the internal temperature reads 206.
  • Immediately invert the pan and let cake cool upside down, about 2 hours. Serve with lemon whipped cream and fresh blueberries.

Notes

  • Soften fresh berries in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them easier to mash.
  • Thaw frozen blueberries until they're soft enough to mash. 
  • For less mess, mash blueberries in a glass measuring cup or a small bowl with tall sides. Pierce them first with a fork to keep the juice from squirting out, then mash with the back of the fork.
