Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cotton candy syrup or flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for cream)
  • Pink food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  3. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until combined.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread gently.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  6. While warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, then invert the cake onto the towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
  7. Starting from a short edge, roll the cake and towel together into a log shape. Let cool completely.
  8. For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and cotton candy syrup until soft peaks form. Add a few drops of pink food coloring if desired.
  9. Unroll the cooled cake gently and spread the cotton candy whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  10. Roll the cake back up without the towel. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra festive look, sprinkle colorful edible glitter or decorate with mini cotton candy pieces on top before serving.
