I made this Blueberry Swirl Cake today and I couldn’t be happier with the way that it turned out!

(This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more info.)

I think everything about it looks delicious. I love the blueberry sauce running through the cake, and the color of the “frosting” is beautiful.

This is a perfect summer cake! It’s nice and light so it won’t weigh you down. Plus it is only 3 Freestyle points per serving.

The blueberry sauce for this cake is actually something I used before in my Blueberry FroYo Bark. I love it so much!

For the Blueberry FroYo Bark recipe, there is some of the sauce left over so I use it on toast, or with a waffle.

For this blueberry swirl cake I needed the sauce to be thinner, so after it cooked I put it in my Magic Bullet Blender. It comes in handy for recipes like this. Instead of getting out my blender or food processor I just use my Magic Bullet Blender.

The Magic Bullet is also great for helping with scrambled eggs or making smoothies. My kids use it all the time for smoothies. It’s that easy to use!

To get the blueberry sauce into the cake I used a condiment squeeze bottle. If you don’t have that you could also use a piping bag.

I also added some of the blueberry sauce to the top of the cake. Just be careful to not overdo it.

Once I was done I used a butter knife to swirl together the blueberry sauce and cake batter.

I did have some of the blueberry sauce left over, but I don’t think one cup of blueberries would have been enough.

While the cake was baking I made the frosting. It is 6 oz. of fat-free Cool Whip and 2 tablespoons of the blueberry sauce.

The blueberry sauce doesn’t give the Cool Whip a ton of flavor, but it makes it a beautiful color purple. I just love it!
