I have a small confession to make this post is completely self-indulgent. It’s probably not a popular style cake, nowhere near what’s trending right now on Twitter or Google. But you know what? This time I don’t care as its my birthday soon and I wanted to make a cake all for me 😀















I’m usually away with work on my birthday and if I am lucky my ship will be alongside and I can head up the road for a glass of wine or two. But this year I am home and I wanted the chance to bake myself one of my all time favourite cakes, with a favourite filling of mine with one of my favourite fruits.















I’ve mentioned before on my blog that I love blueberries; check it out here or here or even here. They are so tasty, really good for you and really pretty when used in desserts. So I knew I was definitely going to be using them. All I had to decide on was cake and filling.















Simple! I love red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting; they go together so well I adore that combination. But I wanted to change it a little, I like blue, its one of my favourite colours and after all this was a totally indulgent bake, so I thought why not? And I really love a roulade, so I bought the two together and came up with this beauty.















I have another small confession to make while I was attempting to perfect this recipe I made 3 of these! Yep we ate a lot of blue cake this week! This final one really did capture the flavour and texture of a velvet cake. I over stuffed it a bit with frosting and blueberries so it didn’t roll as well as it should but I just love cream cheese frosting so much and I wanted loads of fresh blueberries in the middle. A little less frosting would have made this cake roll perfectly, but I wanted frosting oozing all over the place 😀















This is not a difficult cake to make, it takes a little bit of good timing to bring it all together but it is so worth the effort.















And as an added bonus, you’ll have a bright blue tongue for a few hours!!!

So what’s your dream birthday cake? I’d love to know 😀
