This Easter Cake Roll is a festive and colorful dessert that’s perfect for your spring celebrations! With vibrant layers of cake and a fluffy filling, it’s a delicious and eye-catching treat for the holiday. Here’s how to make this Easter-inspired cake roll:
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Assorted food coloring
- Sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ Beat the Eggs and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
4️⃣ Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.
5️⃣ Add Food Coloring:
Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, stirring until the desired colors are achieved.
6️⃣ Fill the Pan with Colored Batter:
Pour each colored batter into its own section of the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7️⃣ Bake the Cake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
8️⃣ Roll the Cake:
While the cake is still warm, carefully loosen the edges with a knife and invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Starting from one short end, carefully roll up the cake and towel together. Place it seam side down on a wire rack to cool completely.
9️⃣ Fill and Re-roll:
Once the cake is cooled, carefully unroll it and remove the towel. Spread a layer of frosting or whipped cream over the cake, leaving a border around the edges. Gently re-roll the cake, starting from the same short end, without the towel. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.
🔟 Decorate and Chill:
Decorate the top of the cake roll with additional frosting or whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired. Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
🍽️ Enjoy:
This Easter Cake Roll is a sweet, colorful treat that’s perfect for the holiday! The light, fluffy cake combined with the creamy filling and fun decorations will make it a hit at your Easter celebration.
