Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Cake Roll
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper and greased.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip room temperature eggs and granulated sugar together on high speed for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Gently fold in vanilla extract. Sift in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt gradually, avoiding overmixing.
- Spread the batter evenly in the jelly roll pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and springs back when touched.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, flip the cake onto it, and roll it up while warm to shape.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread whipped cream filling evenly across the surface, topping with sprinkles or mini eggs.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel, keeping it tight, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice with a warmed knife and serve immediately, or keep chilled until ready to serve.

Notes
Room temperature eggs whip better, avoid overbaking, and always dust with powdered sugar before rolling the cake.
