Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easter Cake Roll
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes until thick and pale.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and incorporate carefully.
- Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and springy.
- Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar, flip the cake onto the towel, and roll it up while still warm.
- Allow the rolled cake to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
- Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl, adding powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream filling over it. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
- Roll the cake back up carefully, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Melt white chocolate if using, drizzle over the cake, and chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the cake and serve at your spring celebrations.

Notes
Cool the cake completely before adding filling to prevent cracking during rolling.
