It's FINALLY here......the first day of Spring!!! And even better, it actually kinda feels like it in central Iowa - hallelujah! I'm beyond sick of treadmill runs and am loving being able to run outside without worrying about slipping on the snow. Don't let me fool you....I'm not the best runner out there - far from it. I rarely go over 2-3 miles...basically just enough to make sure I hit that 10,000 steps on the FitBit. Actually I'm usually around 9,500 steps at bedtime, so I'll pace around until I feel the wristband buzz. Is that weird? Nah, totally normal.
Even more-so, I'm soooo excited to have McKinley playing outside again. Our poor girl has been sick on and off for what seems like forever, and I'm blaming it on being cooped up inside.....and being around slobbery, boogery kids at daycare. But either way, surely some fresh air and playing outside will help!! (If that's incorrect, don't tell me. No need to burst my bubble on this beautiful hump day!)
Alright, so speaking of spring and warm weather, I've got the most picturesque spring/summer dessert for you today.... this Rainbow Sherbet Cake Roll. Just take a look at it - it's like happiness on a plate! The inspiration for this recipe comes from the chocolate cake roll my Grandma Virginia makes for family gatherings. I used the same concept but wanted something light, bright, and colorful - something perfect for spring and Easter holiday gatherings. This Rainbow Sherbet Cake Roll fits the bill to a tee.
All you need for this dessert is two ingredients - angel food cake mix and rainbow sherbet. And really, it's not a difficult dessert. It may look like it is, but as long as you take your time and read through the instructions, it's not so bad. I've got faith in you - you've got this!

Which way do you roll it? From short side or long side?
Kelsey says
Ah good question! Roll it from the short side. Either would work fine, but rolling it from the short side will give you a wider roll and therefore give a better-looking swirl! 🙂 I hope that makes sense!
