Cotton Candy Swiss Cake Roll

A whimsical and fluffy swiss cake roll infused with the sweet, airy flavors of cotton candy, perfect for a delightful dessert or special occasion treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cotton candy flavored frosting
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Optional: cotton candy floss for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed until thick, pale, and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients carefully into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out smoothly.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  8. While the cake is still warm, invert onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper.
  9. Starting from the short edge, roll the cake along with the towel and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Unroll the cake gently and spread the cotton candy flavored frosting evenly over the surface.
  11. Roll the cake up again tightly without the towel.
  12. Dust the top with powdered sugar and decorate with cotton candy floss if desired.
  13. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, whip the eggs with sugar until very thick and use room temperature eggs. Serve chilled for the best cotton candy flavor experience.
