I am super crazy for blueberry desserts such as this Apple Blueberry Galette! It’s my favorite! Adding lemon to anything blueberry makes me think of all things spring!
We still have snow on the ground so I am finding spring through what comes out of my kitchen until I can see grass on the ground!
Working from home I find myself often stuck at my desk and not spending too much time moving around. Because I do this, I also end up not drinking enough water in my day.
The way I combat that is making sure I have a bottle of water next to me at all times. This keeps me hydrated and feeling better.
Within the last two years I started drinking sparkling water! I used to not like it AT ALL! Now I’m obsessed. I used to crave soda products but now I no longer do because I am drinking sparkling water daily. I still get my carbonation but without the sugar! It’s a win win for me!
My favorite smartwater® is now available in sparkling at Sam’s Club. And sparkling better than before!! It’s PURE, it’s CRISP, it’s DELICIOUS. smartwater®at a great price!
To make this recipe I went super simple. At Sam’s Club I bought some fresh blueberries and lemons and added them to an angel food cake mix.
This was a simple delicious dessert that was ready in about 40 minutes from start to finish!
I will tell you that you can control the amount of sweetness this cake has by how much of the icing you put on this cake. If you want to keep it on the less sweet side just top it with some lemon zest and skip the icing! It is still delicious either way!
I’d love to know you favorite way to enjoy smartwater®! ENJOY!

Is the sparkling water a must or can I use regular water?
I’m pretty sure you could use regular water but I haven’t tried it! Let me know how it goes! Thanks!
Angel food cake mix does not give instructions for bundt pan and I have been reading disaster stories on getting it out of the pan. Can you help?
I made this recipe twice and didn’t have a problem. I just made sure I really coated my pan with non stick cooking spray. Also overfilling your pan will cause a disaster. I would recommend only filling it 2/3 of the way full. Thanks Cheryl!
Hello your cake looks beautiful I just made an angel food cake in a bundt pan and it didn’t work it overflowed to the top I salvaged it but I’m a little scared to use the bundt pan again yours seems to have come out beautifully what is your secret thank you
I just made sure I didn’t overfill my bundt pan. Make sure the mix only goes to about 2/3 of the way full.
This looks sooo wonderful !! But I don’t own a bundt pan Please tell me I can bake in a loaf pan ??
Betty
Hi Betty, I wish I could say yes but a loaf pan would be too small to hold all of the cake mixture. Angel Food Cake needs a large pan because it grows so much while it cooks. I would recommend only using 1/3 of the mixture in a loaf pan (hoping it doesn’t rise over the edges!) Hope that helps!
Thanks Nancy I will give a whirl Hey I never know till I try I’ll let you know how it comes out???
What are the measurements to the icing
Hi! Thanks for your question, the measurements are in the recipe card but I labeled them better to see it. You’ll need 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, which is about 2 lemons. Whisk together and it’s ready!
