Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Line a 15x10x1 inch baking pan with waxed paper, making sure the edges overhang for easy removal.
3
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the angel food cake mix according to package directions. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
4
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cake springs back when gently touched in the center.
5
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
6
Carefully turn the cake onto a lint-free kitchen towel that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Gently peel off the waxed paper.
7
Roll the cake up jelly-roll style, starting from one of the short ends, and wrap it in the towel. Set it aside to cool completely on a wire rack.
8
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat strawberry yogurt, sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, and drops of red food coloring until combined. Gently fold in the reduced-fat whipped topping until fully blended.
9
Once the cake has cooled, unroll it carefully. Spread the yogurt filling evenly over the cake, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
10
Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Place in the freezer to freeze for several hours or overnight.
11
When ready to serve, remove the cake roll from the freezer and let it thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature before slicing.
12
Slice into rounds and serve on plates with additional reduced-fat whipped topping and fresh strawberry slices for garnish.
