Description

The Easter Cake Roll is a delightful dessert that combines a light, fluffy sponge cake with a rich, creamy filling. Each bite offers a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of vanilla, complemented by the vibrant colors of seasonal decorations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Cake:
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Decoration:
    • Colored sprinkles
    • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before rolling it up in the parchment paper.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  11. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back up tightly.
  12. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
