Easter Cake Roll Recipe 🥚🌷

Celebrate Easter with a delightful and colorful Easter Cake Roll! This festive dessert combines fluffy sponge cake with a creamy filling and is decorated with vibrant colors and sprinkles, making it perfect for any spring gathering.

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 for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: 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 until well combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Color the Batter: 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.
  6. Pour and Spread: Pour each colored batter into its own prepared section of the jelly roll pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a marbled or striped effect.
  7. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  8. 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.
  9. Fill 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 to allow the flavors to meld together.

Enjoy this festive Easter Cake Roll as a sweet centerpiece for your spring celebrations, bringing joy and color to your dessert table!
