Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cotton candy flavored syrup or extract
  • Pink food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out smoothly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  7. While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it generously with powdered sugar.
  8. Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto the sugared towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Roll the cake up in the towel, starting from a short edge, and let it cool completely.
  10. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, cotton candy syrup, and a few drops of pink food coloring until stiff peaks form.
  11. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the cotton candy cream evenly over it.
  12. Gently re-roll the cake without the towel and transfer to a serving platter.
  13. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra pop of color and flavor, add small sprinkles inside before rolling the cake, or serve slices alongside fresh berries.
