Lemon Blueberry Angel Food Cake in a Jar
The birds are singing, the flowers are peaking their heads out of the cold soil, and it’s time to start baking Spring Desserts! With Easter right around the corner, it’s time to get those lists made of dessert you want to share with your family and friends! One of the top desserts should be this Lemon Blueberry Angel Food Cake in a Jar!
Serving dessert in a jar is not only fun but it’s really quick and easy too! The flavor options are endless as well!
Let’s start with the Angel Food Cake, while I have a wonderful recipe passed on from a favorite Aunt for a homemade Angel Food Cake, this time I used a box mix. They are super easy and only need water added. You can bake Angel Food Cake in a variety of pans, the best though is a round tube pan made especially for Angel Food Cakes. You could also go the super easy route and pick one up at the bakery.
Then I added a layer of Jell-O vanilla pudding, just a box of instant is fine. A layer of fresh blueberries were added and then a thick layer of Comstock Lemon Creme Pie Filling.
And to finish them off, Reddi-Wip or other whipped topping and a few more fresh blueberries. It doesn’t get any easier than that!
I used half-pint size jars. If you are giving them as a gift, leave some room at the top, like I did, to add the lid. Tie with a pretty ribbon and add a spoon.

These are adorable Liz, and I agree, when it comes to angel food cake, the box is the way to go!

What size jars did you use?
Hi Missi, any size jar will work since you are layering the dessert. I used the half pint jars found in the canning department.
I’m planning on making this for dessert for my hubby and I’s anniversary this week. I just wanted to know if I made these a day ahead if that would be o.k. I worry that the cake on the bottom might turn out soggy or the whipped cream wouldn’t last. Any thoughts on this? Thank you and I can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Hi Jennifer, I would assemble them the same day. You are right, the cake will get soggy.
Happy Baking!
These are so cute! =)
