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
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- 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. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- 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.
- Pour each colored batter into its own prepared section of the jelly roll pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently re-roll the cake without the towel, starting from the same short end. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.
- 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 your festive Easter treat! 🥚🌷
