Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 100g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100ml heavy cream, chilled
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp cotton candy flavoring
  • Pink and blue food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  4. Add vanilla extract and carefully incorporate it into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  7. While warm, invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  8. Starting at a short edge, roll the cake up with the towel and let cool completely.
  9. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then gently fold in cotton candy flavoring and food coloring if using.
  10. Unroll the cooled cake carefully and spread the cotton candy cream evenly inside.
  11. Re-roll the cake tightly without the towel, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  12. Before serving, dust the cake roll with powdered sugar and slice into portions.

Notes

For an extra whimsical touch, garnish slices with mini cotton candy or edible glitter just before serving.
