Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 4 large eggs

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

  • Assorted food coloring

  • Sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.

  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.

  5. Color the Batter: Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, stirring until you achieve your desired colors.

  6. Spread the Batter: Pour each colored batter into its own prepared section of the jelly roll pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

  7. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

  8. Cool 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.

  9. Frost the Cake: Once cooled, carefully unroll the cake and remove the towel. Spread a layer of frosting or whipped cream over the cake, leaving a border around the edges.

  10. Re-roll the Cake: Gently re-roll the cake without the towel, starting from the same short end. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.

  11. Decorate: Decorate the top of the cake roll with additional frosting or whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.

  12. Chill and Serve: Chill the cake roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Enjoy your festive Easter treat!

 

Notes

  • Filling Options: Experiment with different fillings like cream cheese frosting, fruit preserves, or lemon curd for a unique twist.

  • Storage: Keep any leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Creative Decoration: Use edible flowers or themed decorations to enhance the festive look of your cake roll.

This Easter Cake Roll is a beautiful and delicious addition to your holiday dessert table, bringing a touch of springtime cheer to your celebration! 🍰💐
